Jacobs, P. L. (2009). Effects of resistance and endurance training in persons with paraplegia. Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, 41(5), 992-997.

People with spinal cord injury have a higher risk of obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, and higher levels of inactivity. This study sought to compare the effects of a 12-week program in resistance training to that of a 12-week program in endurance training for people with spinal cord injury paraplegia in the areas of VO2peak, upper-extremity strength, and power output.
