Benefits Derived From Weight Training by Men With Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries

This study sought to determine the benefits men with cervical spinal cord injuries received from weight training. Four men who used manual wheelchairs, had lifted for at least 1 year after injury, and currently weight trained were interviewed. The contents of the interviews were analyzed with the heuristic process. Results of the analysis indicated that the men received physical, psychological, and social benefits. Physical benefits included improved performance of activities of daily living and recreation activities and increased physical independence. Psychological benefits included positive changes in confidence, self-efficacy, and body image. Finally, weight training provided opportunities for the lifters to socialize. The results of this study can be used by strength and conditioning professionals to select instruments to measure the impact of weight training and to design routines for lifters with disabilities.
