Abstract

This change reflects a cardiovascular risk reduction of almost 25%; the TC/HDL-C declined from the high-risk score of 5.0 to near the desired score of 3.5. These findings support the beneficial effects of circuit exercise resistance training on fitness and atherogenic lipid profiles in persons with chronic paraplegia.
