Changes in skeletal muscle size and glucose tolerance with electrically stimulated
resistance training in subjects with chronic spinal cord injury.
Objective: To determine the effect of residence-based, resistance exercise training (RET) on affected skeletal muscle size and glucose tolerance after long-standing, complete spinal cord injury (SCI).
Design: Before-after trial.
Setting: University laboratory trial.
Participants: Five men with chronic, complete SCI (C5-T9).
Intervention: Magnetic resonance images of the thighs and an oral glucose tolerance test were performed before and after RET. Subjects performed RET with both thighs, 2d/wk Abstract Article Figures/Tables References Calorie restriction initiated at middle age improved gl...

Neuromuscular electric stimulation induced RET by activating the knee extensors.
Main Outcome Measures: Quadriceps femoris muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), plasma glucose, and insulin concentrations were measured before and after RET.
Results: Skeletal muscle CSA increased by 35% in the right quadriceps femoris (from
32.6cm2 to 44.0cm2) and by 39% in the left quadriceps femoris (from 34.6cm2 to
47.9cm2) as a result of training (P<.05). There were no significant changes in blood glucose or insulin after training. However, a trend for a reduction in plasma glucose levels was observed (P=.074).
