Popis: ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of acute submaximal exercise, based on the spinal cord injury (SCI) Exercise Guidelines, on cognition and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in people with SCI.DesignEight adults (7 males) with traumatic SCI volunteered in this pre-registered pilot study. In randomized order, participants completed submaximal intensity arm cycling (60% of measured peak-power output at 55–60 rpm) for 30 min or time-matched quiet rest (control condition) on separate days. Blood-borne BDNF was measured in serum and plasma at pre-intervention, 0 min and 90 min post-intervention. Cognition was assessed using the Stroop Test and Task-Switching Test on an electronic tablet pre- and 10 min post-intervention.ResultsSubmaximal exercise had no effect on plasma [F(2,12) = 1.09; P = 0.365; η² = 0.069] or serum BDNF [F(2,12) = 0.507; P = 0.614; η² = 0.024] at either 0 min or 90 min post-intervention. Similarly, there was no impact of exercise on either Stroop [F(1,7) = 2.05; P = 0.195; η² = 0.065] or Task-Switching performance [F(1,7) = 0.016; P = 0.903; η²
