Persons with chronic paraplegia at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes compared to the able-bodied population. There is mounting evidence from the able-bodied literature that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to improve cardiometabolic health outcomes, but this effect has yet to be investigated in persons with chronic paraplegia. This study is recruiting adults (aged 18-65 years) with paraplegia (T2 or below) who sustained their spinal cord injury more than one-year ago. Participants will need to attend the laboratory at the University of Bath on two occasions (baseline and follow-up testing) separated by eight weeks. Following the first visit, participants will be randomised to a exercise group or control group. For those in the exercise group, participants will be provided with an arm crank ergometer for use in their home, and be asked to perform four exercise sessions per week (30 min each) for six weeks. For those in the control group, participants will be asked to continue their normal lifestyle.
