Sustained moderate exercise promotes LS and MH in individuals with SCI.Implications for rehabilitationOnly one third of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) meet SCI-specific exercise guidelines, making them one of the least physicallyactive populations.Sustained interventions are necessary to maintain exercise adherence and achieve long-term benefits.Individuals who meet the cardiometabolic health guideline have a better mental health than those who do not meet the guideline.Encourage individuals with SCI to engage in regular, moderate-intensity exercise, as it benefits both mental health and subjective well-being.
