Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions this trail aims to answer are:
* what are the effects of the training on upper body strength, aerobic performance, muscle volume, functional independence, and health-related quality of life?
* is the KREHA training feasible to implement into the rehabilitation routine?
Participants will:
* perform either 20 KREHA sessions or 20 STAN sessions within 12 weeks
* perform a test battery to collect data on training effects before (pretest) and after (posttest) the study intervention

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Eccentric arm-crank (KREHA) training
The eccentric training intervention consists of 20 training sessions performed on a symmetric arm-crank (Krafttraining mittels exzentrischer Handkurbel, KREHA) device. The training sessions have a duration of approximately 30 min and will be completed within twelve weeks, with a maximum of three sessions per week.
Eccentric (KREHA) training
20 eccentric resistance training sessions will be performed on a symmetric arm-crank ergometer in a supine position.
Standard clinical routine strength (STAN) training
The standard strength training intervention consists of a total of 20 training sessions at the gym of the study center, performed following clinical routine procedures. The training sessions have a duration of approximately 60 min and will be completed within twelve weeks, with around three sessions per week.
Standard clinical routine strength (STAN) training
The regular strength training intervention consists of a total of 20 training sessions at the gym of the study center, performed following clinical routine procedures.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* informed consent as confirmed per signature.
* traumatic or disease-related SCI.
* participating in the routine strength training program during primary SCI rehabilitation at the study center (generally this is initiated around one month after SCI onset).
* wheelchair dependency during activities of daily living, defined by a score of 0-2 in the SCIM subsection regarding "Mobility in the house".
* passed sports medical assessment and having sufficient biceps/triceps function to perform arm-crank training, as determined by an experienced sports medicine physician
Exclusion Criteria
* comorbidities or other health issues that may interfere with study participation, inability or contraindications to undergo the investigated intervention.
* MRI contraindications (magnetic metal parts or electronic implants such as pacemakers in the body).
* pregnancy (anamnestic).
