Key result
Physical exercise interventions improve cardiovascular adaptations and autonomic nervous system regulation, helping to manage blood pressure and prevent secondary diseases in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to identify and analyse evidence regarding variables regulating adaptation to physical exercise among people with spinal cord injury and the effects of new technologies on injury management.
Does physical exercise improve cardiovascular adaptations and autonomic nervous system regulation in people with spinal cord injury?
Systematic Review (n=173)
Does physical exercise improve cardiovascular adaptations and autonomic nervous system regulation in people with spinal cord injury?
Physical exercise programs and proper assessment of autonomic dysfunction in individuals with spinal cord injury can improve cardiovascular adaptations and reduce the risk of blood pressure dysregulation.
Supports exercise programs for blood pressure management in spinal cord injury; confirms autonomic and cardiovascular benefits via Level 1 evidence.
Purpose Identify and analyse the scientific evidence about the variables that regulate the adaptation to physical exercise among people with spinal cord injury and the potential effects of new technologies in terms of injuries management. More specifically, relate each of them in order to preserve the integrity of these people in sport and improve their living conditions. Methods A systematic review is carried out in different databases through the Boolean method: Pubmed, Scopus and WOS. Some of these studies are collected between the last 22 years (1998–2020) and present a high degree of evidence. Results The 7 research works collected are heterogeneous in related to type of intervention and content. An analysis of the impact factor is carried out and its main data is synthesized. The majority focuses on cardiovascular adaptations and the regulation of the autonomic. nervous system. Conclusion Proper knowledge of the degree of autonomic dysfunction can significantly improve the likelihood that individuals decrease the risk of alteration in the regulation of blood pressure. Therefore, it ́s development should prevent the appearance of other diseases in those who have more chances to develop them.

Madueño et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Spinal cord injury (n=173). Physical exercise vs. No exercise or standard care was evaluated on Cardiovascular adaptations and autonomic nervous system regulation. Physical exercise interventions improve cardiovascular adaptations and autonomic nervous system regulation, helping to manage blood pressure and prevent secondary diseases in individuals with spinal cord injury.
