Abstract:Shiba S, Okawa H, Uenishi H, Koike Y, Yamauchi K, Asayama K, Nakamura T, Tajima F. Longitudinal changes in physical capacity over 20 years in athletes with spinal cord injury.

Objective

To investigate the longitudinal changes in physical capacity over 20 years in athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Design

Longitudinal study (20-y follow-up).

Setting

Laboratory setting.

Participants

Persons with SCI (N=7).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main Outcome Measures

Maximum oxygen consumption V?o2max) measured in 1986-1988 and in 2006.

Results

Subjects with SCI maintained stable V?o2max in 2006. Six of the 7 continued various wheelchair sports activities, while 1 person quit sports activities 1 year after the baseline study. The latter person showed reduced V?o2max by 53%, while 2 persons who continued strenuous wheelchair sports activities showed increased V?o2max by 43% and 45% after 20 years.

Conclusion

The results indicated that physical capacity reflected the level of sports activity in subjects with SCI who maintained sports activities.
