Effects of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) on Metabolism and Dysglycemia, in Overweight/Obese Persons With Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI)
The purpose of this research is to examine changes in blood glucose control and metabolism in
individuals with SCI and non injured controls at rest and during exercise after five days of
exposure to IH. This response will be compared with breathing normal room air (a SHAM
control).
