Why the study?
Does 4 weeks of voluntary arm and electrically stimulated leg exercise improve vascular characteristics in active and inactive tissues in individuals with spinal cord injury?
Does 4 weeks of voluntary arm and electrically stimulated leg exercise improve vascular characteristics in active and inactive tissues in individuals with spinal cord injury?
Four weeks of hybrid training in spinal cord-injured subjects induces local vascular adaptations only in the exercised tissues, not in inactive areas.

Local adaptations with hybrid training in SCI; hypothesis-generating for systemic effects, requiring RCTs before practice change.
Thijssen et al. (2005) studied this question.
