Title: Modification of body composition in spinal cord injury subjects undergoing six months intervention. Objectives: To determine the impact of six months intervention covering nutritional adjustments and excercise program on body composition in spinal cord injury subjects. Methods: Twenty-seven spinal cord injury subjects with the lesion level T4 - T12 (10 females, 17 males) mean age 41.9 ± 10.3 years and initial BMI 27.02 ± 5.0 kg/m participated in the present study. Body composition was measured using the multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis device Bodystat QuadScan 4000. Statistical analysis was carried out in the statistical program IBM SPSS statistics 22. Intervention lasting six moths constisted of 2 weeks intensive program, followed by 5 months home based program and 2 weeks of intensive program. The inicial assessment was made before the intervention and follow-up right after. Results: Although a body mass decreased (p ˂0,001), body fat percentage and FM increased (p = 0.193). Furthermore, muscle mass (MM) (p = 0.002), total body water (TBW) (p = 0.002), intracellular fluid (ICW) (p = 0.016), and extracellular fluid (ECW) (p = 0.001) decreased. Decreasof ECW / TBW (p ˂0,001) suggests reduction of edema. Conclusion: Even though generally a change of eating habits and exercise...
