The effects of upper strength-training on muscular and peripheral-circulation systems of lower limbs in spinal cord injuries.

本研究旨在探讨上肢力量训练对脊髓损伤（SCI）患者下肢肌肉和外周循环系统的影响。SCI患者自愿进行上肢力量训练，每周3次，共8周。本研究的主要发现总结如下：1.在常规训练的SCI中，结果表明：（1）上肢和下肢的静息血流量与正常人（AB）相同;（2）SCI患者上肢和下肢的血管舒张能力明显高于正常人（AB）; 4.在8周的力量训练期间，SCI患者的血压逐渐升高，然而，在4周时停止力量训练的人在4周时恢复到以前的水平。上肢力量训练对SCI患者下肢肌肉和外周循环系统的影响。但在8周的训练期间血压逐渐升高。因此，建议在力量训练期间对脊髓损伤患者进行必要的血压监测。

The purpose of the present study was designed to investigate the effects of upper strength-training on muscular and peripheral-circulation systems of lower limbs in spinal cord injured persons (SCI). SCI had volunteered strength training of upper limbs three times a week in 8 weeks period. The major findings in this study were summarized as follows ;1.In regularly trained SCI, resting blood flow of arm and leg showed the same as abled body persons (AB).2.It was obtained vasodilatation capacity in SCI have grater of arm and lower of leg than AB.3.Upper strength training was demonstrated no training effects on muscular and peripheral-circulation systems of lower limbs in SCI.4.Blood pressure of SCI was gradually elevated during 8 weeks strength-training period, however it was returned previous level by 4 weeks detraining who had discontinued strength training at 4 weeks.This study was showed to no training effects of upper strength training on muscular and peripheral-circulation systems of lower limbs in SCI. However, blood presser was gradually elevated during 8 weeks training period. Therefore, it was recommended to necessary monitoring blood presser in SCI during strength training period.
