Summary
This study will determine if the implementation of a home-based telehealth high intensity interval exercise-training (HIIT)program can significantly improve cardiometabolic health and physical function in a cohort of individuals with longstanding spinal cord injury (SCI). Results from this study will determine feasibility, overall enjoyment, and health impact of implementing a home-based telehealth HIIT program in individuals with SCI.
