OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise using arm crank ergometry (ACE) in high motor complete (ISNCSCI A/B) spinal cord injury (SCI) as primarily related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and functional mobility and secondarily to body composition and metabolic profiles. DESIGN: Longitudinal interventional study at an academic medical center. METHODS: . OUTCOME MEASURES: ]). There were no changes in body composition (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: in high motor complete SCI improves aerobic capacity, community mobility, and metabolic profiles independent of changes in body composition.
