Effects of arm cranking exercise on muscle oxygenation between active and inactive muscles in people with spinal cord injury.

Conclusions: These results suggest that sympathetic vasoconstriction occurred in the incomplete SCI and AB, although it did not occur in the complete SCI, probably due to a reduction in sympathetic nerve activity. Sympathetic vasoconstriction in inactive muscles may not contribute to an individual's VO2peak regardless of their group. PMID: 32379545 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
