Scientific title	A pilot study to compare the energy expenditure of arm-cranking with circuit training at 40% & 70% power output within the first 8 weeks of rehabilitation following spinal cord injury (SCI)
Study hypothesis	Which method of arm exercise (arm cranking or circuit training) results in the greatest energy expenditure for people following a spinal cord injury (SCI)?
Ethics approval(s)	Not provided at time of registration
Condition	Musculoskeletal Diseases: Spinal cord injury (SCI)
Intervention	Participants will be randomised to receive arm cranking or circuit training first; the second exercise scheme will be used at the second date. Measurement of peak heart rate, peak O2 consumption, energy expenditure and rate of perceived exertion for each exercise regime.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	Peak heart rate, peak O2 consumption, energy expenditure and rate of perceived exertion for each exercise regime.
Secondary outcome measures	Not provided at time of registration
