Popis: Study design Non-randomized crossover trial. Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the oxygen uptake during exercise using the Adapted ROWing machine (AROW) compared to the more commonly used Arm Crank Ergometry (ACE) for people with spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) with or without trunk stability. Setting Canada, Vancouver. Methods Participants were from a convenience sample of 14 adults with SCI/D (age 21–63 y) which include those with lumbar to low cervical impairments currently exercising at least once per week using cardiovascular exercise equipment at our Physical Activity Research Centre. The interventions were non-randomized steady-state exercise bouts at self-selected low and moderate workloads on the AROW and ACE for 5 min each. Our primary outcomes were the rate of oxygen consumption (mL/kg/min) and the Borg 0–10 Rating Scale of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Results A repeated measures two-way ANOVA (p
