Short- and long-term effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on autonomic cardiovascular control and arm-crank exercise capacity in individuals with a spinal cord injury (STIMEX-SCI): study protocol.

Introduction: Individuals with higher neurological levels of spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the sixth thoracic segment (≥T6), exhibit impaired resting cardiovascular control and responses during upper-body exercise. Over time, impaired cardiovascular control predisposes individuals to lower cardiorespiratory fitness and thus a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) has been shown to modulate cardiovascular responses at rest in individuals with SCI, yet its effectiveness to enhance exercise performance acutely, or promote superior physiological adaptations to exercise following an intervention, in an adequately powered cohort is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Aerobic fitness is a key health indicator, and this study compares aerobic fitness levels in children with cerebral palsy (CP) to their typically developing (TD) peers using a maximal exercise test.* -
- A systematic review included 36 studies involving 510 children with CP and 173 TD peers, revealing a significant difference in peak oxygen uptake (VO) between the two groups, with CP children averaging 32.84 mL/kg/min compared to 45.02 mL/kg/min for TD peers.* -
- The findings indicate that children with CP, especially those with higher Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels, have severely compromised aerobic fitness, suggesting that promoting physical activity is essential for their
Similar adaptive responses in the upper body physical performance of table tennis players following the traditional and cluster set resistance and plyometric training.

Numerous studies have investigated the impact of resistance training (RT) and plyometric training (PT) set configurations (cluster sets [CS] and traditional sets [TS]) on lower body performance adaptations. However, the effects of these training modalities on upper body physical performance, particularly among Table Tennis (TT) players, remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of an 8-week RT and PT using CS and TS configurations on the physical performance attributes of male TT players.

Aims: High non-fasting triglycerides (TG) concentration is linked to the development of atherosclerosis, and physical activity is commonly recommended to reduce postprandial TG concentration and cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated that acute whole-body (walking and running) or lower-body (leg cycling) aerobic exercise reduces postprandial TG. However, it is unclear whether upper-body exercise (i.
