Validity of one-repetition maximum predictive equations in men with spinal cord injury.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The study aimed (a) to test the cross-validation of current one-repetition maximum (1RM) predictive equations in men with spinal cord injury (SCI); (b) to compare the current 1RM predictive equations to a newly developed equation based on the 4- to 12-repetition maximum test (4-12RM).

Setting: SARAH Rehabilitation Hospital Network, Brasilia, Brazil.

Influence of Relative Strength on Functional Independence of Patients With Spinal Cord Injury.

Objective: To investigate the influence of strength values and fat mass on functional independence of men with different spinal cord injury (SCI) levels.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Hospital network.
