Abstract

Background: Although rehabilitation exercise is known to be beneficial for cardiovascular and mental health, it remains a daunting challenge for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) who rely on wheelchairs for mobility.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a 4-week para table tennis program in enhancing self-efficacy and health outcomes in adults with SCI.

Methods: A total of 39 SCI patients were included and divided into the experimental group (n = 18, a 4-week para table tennis training program) and the control group (n = 21). Frequency domain indices of heart rate variability (HRV) were used to evaluate the function of the autonomic nervous system.

Results: Following para table tennis training, there was a significant reduction in the physical stress index (PSI, P < 0.001), accompanied by shifts in autonomic regulation of vagal dominance. Additionally, the para table tennis training led to significant improvements in vessel state, differential pulse wave index, atrial elasticity, eccentric constriction power, remaining blood volume, and self-efficacy (all P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Para table tennis training results in favorable changes in sympathetic tone, enhanced self-efficacy, improved cardiovascular well-being, and an overall positive transformation in HRV.

残疾人乒乓球运动可改善脊髓损伤者的心理/精神和心血管健康。

背景：众所周知，康复锻炼有益于心血管和心理健康，但对于依靠轮椅行动的脊髓损伤（SCI）患者来说，康复锻炼仍是一项艰巨的挑战：本研究旨在探讨为期 4 周的辅助乒乓球训练对提高脊髓损伤成人患者的自我效能感和健康状况的有效性：共纳入 39 名 SCI 患者，分为实验组（n = 18，为期 4 周的辅助乒乓球训练计划）和对照组（n = 21）。实验组采用心率变异性（HRV）的频域指数来评估自律神经系统的功能：结果：进行乒乓球辅助训练后，体力压力指数（PSI，P 结论：乒乓球辅助训练能使体力压力指数明显降低：乒乓球辅助训练使交感神经张力发生了有利的变化，增强了自我效能感，改善了心血管健康，并使心率变异发生了全面的积极转变。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
