Every year, around the world, between 250,000 and 500,000 people
suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI). Those with an SCI are two to
five times more likely to die prematurely than people without a
spinal cord injury, with worse survival rates in low- and
middle-income countries. Dynamic aerobic requires integrated
physiologic responses across the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
autonomic, pulmonary, thermoregulatory, and immunologic systems.
Moreover, regular aerobic exercise beneficially impacts these same
systems, reducing the risk for a range of diseases and maladies.
This book will present comprehensive information on the unique
physiologic effects of SCI and the potential role of exercise in
treating and mitigating these effects. In addition, it will
incorporate work from scientists across a number of disciplines and
have contributors at multiple levels of investigation and across
physiologic systems. Furthermore, SCI can be considered an
accelerated form of aging due to the severely restricted physical
inactivity imposed, usually at an early age. Therefore, the
information presented may have a broader importance to the
physiology of aging as it relates to inactivity. Lastly, the need
for certain levels of regular aerobic exercise to engender
adaptations beneficial to health is not altered by the burden of an
SCI. Indeed, the amounts of exercise necessary may be even greater
than the able-bodied due to 'passive' ambulation. This book will
also address the potential health benefits for those with an SCI
that can be realized if a sufficient exercise stimulus is provided.
