These guidelines were developed by an international group led by Prof Kathleen Martin Ginis (University of British Columbia, Canada) and Prof Victoria Goosey-Tolfrey (Loughborough University, UK).

FitnessFor cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength benefits, adults with SCI should engage in at least:

20 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic exercise 2 times a

week

3 sets of strength-training exercises for each major functioning muscle group, at a moderate to vigorous intensity

2

+

times a week

Cardiometabolic healthFor cardiometabolic health benefits, adults with SCI are suggested to engage in at least:

30 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic exercise 3 times a

week
