Abstract
Objective: To investigate the longitudinal changes in physical capacity over 20 years in athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Longitudinal study (20-y follow-up). Setting: Laboratory setting. Participants: Persons with SCI (N=7). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Maximum oxygen consumption Vo2max) measured in 1986–1988 and in 2006. Results: Subjects with SCI maintained stable Vo2max in 2006. Six of the 7 continued various wheelchair sports activities, while 1 person quit sports activities 1 year after the baseline study. The latter person showed reduced Vo2max by 53 %, while 2 persons who continued strenuous wheelchair sports activities showed increased Vo2max by 43 % and 45 % after 20 years. Conclusion: The results indicated that physical capacity reflected the level of sports activity in subjects with SCI who maintained sports activities. Verf.-Referat
