Improvement in Hemodynamic Responses to Metaboreflex Activation after One Year of Training in Spinal Cord Injured Humans

Table 2

Maximum values of work rate (𝑊_max), heart rate (HR_max), oxygen uptake (VO_2max, expressed both in absolute and indexed values), carbon dioxide production (VCO_2max), respiratory exchange ratio (RER_max), and pulmonary ventilation (Ve_max) reached during the cardiopulmonary test at the beginning of the study (T0) and after a period of one-year training (T1). Values are mean ± SD.
