Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Intermittent Hypoxia Then SHAM
This arm of individuals with SCI will receive Intermittent Hypoxia (IH) and following a 3 week washout, SHAM treatment interventions. Intermittent Hypoxia (IH): Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute hypoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.09-0.12) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21). During hypoxic intervals, oxygen concentration may be adjusted to maintain participants SpO2 levels between 75-90%. SHAM: Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21).
Control (CON) Intermittent Hypoxia Then SHAM
This arm of non injured control subjects will receive Intermittent Hypoxia (IH) and following a 3 week washout, SHAM treatment interventions. Intermittent Hypoxia (IH): Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute hypoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.09-0.12) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21). During hypoxic intervals, oxygen concentration may be adjusted to maintain participants SpO2 levels between 75-90%.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, day 5

Population: Unable to obtain blood samples from 2 participants in the control group and 1 participant withdrew prior to the baseline laboratory trial and therefore did not receive any intervention, therefore there is no reported data for the control group.

Insulin resistance was estimated by the Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA2-IR), which is based on fasting glucose and insulin measurements. Values of \> 1.8 were considered insulin resistant.
