Fluid intake may limit cardiovascular drift during wheelchair exercise in SCI and AB athletes; hypothesis-generating before changing practice.
Does fluid replacement prevent cardiovascular drift during prolonged wheelchair exercise in spinal cord injured paraplegic athletes and able-bodied individuals?
Fluid replacement similarly mitigates cardiovascular drift and hyperthermia during prolonged wheelchair exercise in both paraplegic athletes and able-bodied individuals.
