Study design: Cross-sectional single-subject design. Objectives: To determine whether leg vascular occlusion (LEVO) augment arm cycling (ACE) peak oxygen uptake in spinal cord-injured individuals. Setting: University Hospital, Norway. Methods: Fifteen individuals with C 4 to T 12 spinal cord injury (SCI) were recruited and divided into two groups: injury above (SCI-high, n¼8) or below (SCI-low, n¼7) the T 6 level. Peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) was measured during (1) ACE combined with LEVO, (2) ACE alone and (3) ACE combined with functional electrical stimulation cycling (FES hybrid cycling). Results: In the SCI-high group, VO 2peak and peak Watt during ACE with LEVO were higher than ACE alone: 20.0 (±5.0) versus 17.6 ( ± 5.0) ml kg À1 min À1 (P¼0.006), and 72.5( ± 32) versus 80.0 ( ± 34) Watt (P¼0.016), respectively. However, FES hybrid cycling VO 2peak was significantly higher than ACE with LEVO: 24.4 ( ± 4.1) versus 20.0 ( ± 5.0) ml kg À1 min À1 (P¼0.006). In the SCI-low group, there was no difference in VO 2peak and related parameters between the three modalities. Conclusions: For spinal cord-injured individuals with injury level above T 6 (high) in the present study, LEVO combined with ACE augment VO 2peak . However, this acute increase in VO 2peak was lower than when FES cycling was combined with ACE. These findings may have future implications for exercise prescription for spinal cord-injured individuals.
