Participants completed baseline graded exercise tests to determine target heart rate zones. HIIT was prescribed three times per week. Each training session included six one-minute bouts with a target heart rate ~80% heart rate reserve (HRR), interspersed with two minutes of recovery (~30% HRR). A portable heart rate monitor and phone application provided visual feedback during training and allowed for measurements of adherence and compliance. Surveys were administered to assess participation, self-efficacy, and satisfaction.\n\nResults: Participants demonstrated a decrease in submaximal cardiac output by ~17% (P=0.028) and an increase in peak power output by ~26% (P=0.027) following HIIT. An 87% adherence rate was achieved during the HIIT program. Self-reported metrics of satisfaction and self-efficacy with at-home HIIT scored moderate to high.\n\nConclusion: Participants demonstrated an improvement in cardiac efficiency during submaximal exercise, and maximal work capacity following at-home HIIT. Additionally, participant adherence, compliance, satisfaction, and self-efficacy metrics suggest that at-home HIIT was easily implemented and enjoyable.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.33696\/rehabilitation.7.056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,24]],"date-time":"2026-01-24T12:31:13Z","timestamp":1769257873000},"page":"127","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["At-Home High-Intensity Interval Training for Individuals with Paraplegia Following Spinal Cord Injury: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.33696","author":[{"given":"Kevin L.","family":"Webb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaux B.","family":"Linde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel D.","family":"Veith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olaf H.","family":"Morkeberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan L.","family":"Gill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meegan G.","family":"Van Straaten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward R.","family":"Laskowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Joyner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa A.","family":"Beck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristin D","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristin L.","family":"Garlanger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chad C.","family":"Wiggins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"18993","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.\tSpinal Cord Injury Facts and Figures at a Glance.
