A Phase 1 interventional study of Physical Activity Guidelines in Spinal Cord Injury, sponsored by McMaster University. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-04-08.
Sponsored by McMaster University · Phase 1 and Interventional
The first evidence-based physical activity guidelines for people with spinal cord injury were released in March, 2011. This project will evaluate the implementation of the new physical activity guidelines in a community exercise setting in Hamilton, Ontario. The investigators hypothesize that persons who follow the guidelines will experience increased aerobic fitness and muscle strength. The investigators also hypothesize that participants will find the guidelines easy to follow and that their self-efficacy for participating in physical activity will be improved following the study period.
1,948 studies on the registry are indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries; 505 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is above the median of 24 across 1,566 interventional studies indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants randomized to this arm received training/guidance on following the physical activity guidelines for adults with spinal cord injury
Behavioral: Physical Activity Guidelines
Participants in the Physical Activity Guidelines Arm will be asked to participate in at least 20 minutes of moderate to heavy intensity aerobic activity 2 times per week as well as strength training exercises (moderate intensity) 2 times per week. The Control Arm will not be supervised to follow the physical activity guidelines
Physical Fitness
Peak VO2 tests will be done on a cycle ergometer to assess aerobic capacity/endurance, and peak strength will be measured on accessible weight-training equipment.
Time frame: 4 months
Self-efficacy for achieving the physical activity guidelines
Assessed through questionnaire.
Time frame: 4 months
Adherence to physical activity guidelines
Assessed through enrolment records
Time frame: 4 months
