Brief Summary:
Regular physical activity, and more specifically exercise, is beneficial for people with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). Unfortunately, people with spinal cord injury (pSCI) are less physically active than adults without SCI and are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Care partners, or those who provide frequent assistance to those living with SCI, also achieve low physical activity levels and share similar health risks as a result. Often there are limited opportunities for pSCI to engage in regular exercise. In addition, pSCI and their care partners often face significant barriers to exercise including 1) lack of exercise participation opportunities; 2) cost of quality exercise instruction; 3) inaccessible exercise equipment or environments; 4) lack of social support from family and peers. This study, Functional Interval Training for People with Spinal Cord Injury and Their Care Partners (SCI-FIT) will explicitly address the barriers to exercise pSCI and their care partners often face with the primary goals of improving the health, physical activity levels, and quality of life of pSCI and their care partners. In order to address these goals, SCI-FIT will provide no-cost, twice weekly, group-based, adaptable exercise programming for pSCI and their care partners. All participants will be required to have physician or advanced practice provider clearance to exercise and will be evaluated by a physical therapist at no-cost prior to beginning the intervention to assess eligibility for the study. All eligible participants will complete a demographics questionnaire and will undergo a battery of baseline outcome assessments prior to undergoing the exercise intervention. Participants will complete 6-months of twice weekly group exercise classes aimed and hypothesized to increase physical activity levels, muscular strength, social support for exercise, functional mobility, peak power output, aerobic capacity, and quality of life for people with spinal cord injury and their care partners. Participants will repeat baseline outcome assessments at study midpoint (3-months) and study completion (6-months).
