To investigate the longitudinal changes in physical capacity over 20 years in athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Longitudinal study (20-y follow-up).
Laboratory setting.
Persons with SCI (N=7).
Not applicable.
Maximum oxygen consumption Vo(2)max) measured in 1986-1988 and in 2006.
Subjects with SCI maintained stable Vo(2)max in 2006. Six of the 7 continued various wheelchair sports activities, while 1 person quit sports activities 1 year after the baseline study. The latter person showed reduced Vo(2)max by 53%, while 2 persons who continued strenuous wheelchair sports activities showed increased Vo(2)max by 43% and 45% after 20 years.
The results indicated that physical capacity reflected the level of sports activity in subjects with SCI who maintained sports activities.
研究脊髓损伤(SCI)运动员 20 年来体力的纵向变化。
纵向研究(20 年随访)。
实验室环境。
脊髓损伤患者(N=7)。
不适用。
1986-1988 年和 2006 年测量的最大摄氧量(Vo(2)max)。
SCI 受试者在 2006 年保持稳定的 Vo(2)max。7 名受试者中有 6 名继续进行各种轮椅运动,而 1 名受试者在基线研究后 1 年停止了运动。后者的 Vo(2)max 降低了 53%,而另外 2 名继续进行剧烈轮椅运动的受试者在 20 年后的 Vo(2)max 分别增加了 43%和 45%。
结果表明,在保持运动的 SCI 受试者中,体力反映了运动水平。
