Energy expenditure during handcycling and arm cranking in individuals with a spinal cord injury.

Handcycling
Author	Group	Energy Expenditure	CHO (g/min)	Fat (g/min)
Abel, Schneider, Platen and Strüder [36]	Handbike marathon race (case study)	7.7 kcal/min	N/A	N/A
Abel, Kroner, Rojas Vega, Peters, Klose and Platen [17]	Handbiking at 2 mmol/L LT and at 4 mmol/L LT	2 mmol/L LT: 6.5 kcal/min 4 mmol/L LT: 8.8 kcal/min	N/A	N/A
Arm Cranking
Author	Group	Energy expenditure	CHO (g/min)	Fat (g/min)
Price and Campbell [37]	SCI & AB, 80% HRpeak	SCI: 6.5 kcal/min AB: 9.1 kcal/min	SCI: 1.45 AB: 1.90	SCI: 0.19 AB: 0.13
Price and Campbell [38]	SCI, 60% VO2max	6.6 kcal/min	0.95	0.29
Knechtle and Kopfli [39]	SCI (arm crank) & AB (cycling) 55/65/75% VO2peak	SCI: 6.5/7.5/9.0 kcal/min AB: 12.5/15.0/17.5 kcal/min	SCI: 1.1/1.4 /1.6 AB: 1.8/2.2/2.6	SCI: 0.22/0.22/0.25 AB: 0.55/0.6/0.7

Note: LT = lactate threshold; AB = able-bodied, SCI = spinal cord injury, CHO = carbohydrate oxidation, Fat = fat oxidation, N/A = not applicable.
