Experimental Treatment

Group I: Seated control (CON)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants remain seated in their habitual wheel chair for ~60 min (duration of exercise performed in other arm). Following the intervention they are fed a liquid meal.

Group II: Arm cycle exercise (ACE)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants complete continuous arm cycle exercise (ACE) for ~60 min. Following the intervention they are fed a liquid meal.
