Feasibility of a Sprint Interval Training Program During Inpatient Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

Participants will undergo 1:1 therapist supervised SIT for 10 minutes per day, three times per week during IPR using a Monark 881 arm crank ergometer.

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in optional group endurance exercise classes two to three times a week.

Participants complete the SIT intervention during IPR and be provided with a consumer-grade ergometer. Study staff will train the participants in the set-up and use of the home ergometer prior to discharge and arrange for take home or delivery.
