Blood profile and general health status in sedentary and physically active individuals with spinal cord injury

The purpose of this study was to compare comprehensive blood tests assay and other physical parameters among three groups: (a) able-bodied group (AB; n=8); (b) sedentary individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) (SED; n=12) and; (c) physically active individuals with SCI (EXE; n=9). Demographic, ant...

Summary:The purpose of this study was to compare comprehensive blood tests assay and other physical parameters among three groups: (a) able-bodied group (AB; n=8); (b) sedentary individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) (SED; n=12) and; (c) physically active individuals with SCI (EXE; n=9). Demographic, anthropometric, and blood samples were collected from each subject. The study did not find major differences among the three groups, that is, except for significant differences in triglycerides, HDL, and LDL cholesterol. The blood lipid parameters clearly indicate the role of exercise for improving the general health of people with SCI. Key Words: Exercise, Metabolism, Spinal Cord Injury
