TI  - A comparison of 2 circuit exercise training techniques for eliciting matched 
      metabolic responses in persons with paraplegia.
PG  - 201-9
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To test whether acute metabolic (VO(2)), chronotropic (heart rate), 
      and perceptual (rating of perceived exertion; RPE) responses to exercise by 
      persons with paraplegia differ when the exercise is on a multistation isoinertial 
      exercise system (MultiGym) or on a customized system of Thera-Band resistance 
      bands (ElasticGym). DESIGN: Within-subjects comparison of 2 treatments. SETTING: 
      Academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS: Sixteen men and 1 woman with complete 
      paraplegia (T4-L1), as defined by the American Spinal Injury Association. 
      INTERVENTIONS: A circuit resistance training (CRT) program for persons with 
      paraplegia was adapted to both a MultiGym and a customized ElasticGym. Exercises 
      used for training and testing used 6 resistance maneuvers at 50% of the 
      1-repetition maximum (1-RM), with interposed rapid arm spinning. Subjects were 
      habituated to both conditions for 2 weeks before testing on randomized 
      nonconsecutive days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: VO(2) (L/min) was measured by 
      portable spirometry, heart rate (beats/min) by a chest strap monitor, and RPE by 
      the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion (6-20). RESULTS: No significant effects of 
      test condition on average VO(2) or heart rate were observed, with differences 
      between conditions reflecting only .08L/min and 6.4 beats/min, respectively. 
      Average RPE was significantly higher in testing under the ElasticGym condition (P 
      < .05). CONCLUSIONS: CRT on a customized ElasticGym system elicited acute 
      metabolic and chronotropic responses that did not differ from responses to 
      exercise on a MultiGym, though RPE was greater with the ElasticGym.
