Single Exercise Session or Meal vs Control in SCI: Case Series

Exercise trial day: 30 min of continuous exercise at 60% VOpeak (or at the least 3 bouts of 10 min at 60% VO2peak separated by no more than 1 minute rest) - power output is set at that determined during the maximum test on the first visit, and adjusted accordingly if there is a deviation \>5% VO2peak for at least 3 minutes of exercise.

Diet trial day The protocol of the diet trial day is identical to that of the exercise trial day, except that exercise is substituted by asking the participant to eat a standardized breakfast meal that it is commonly consumed in a fast-food chain (i.e. cheese and egg McMuffin, double portion of hash browns and an orange pop).
