FES Sport is an approach that allows many spinal cord injured persons to exercise and actually do so using their paralysed muscles.
Research has proven there are many health benefits for this. Now we want to take a step toward removing remaining barriers, whether real or imaginary, that prevent more individuals from getting regular exercise right now. Combining FES with a motorised indoor or outdoor cycle (FES Cycling) or a rowing machine (FES Rowing) has been proven to open up new possibilities to grasp better health, develop fitness and find athletic challenge. The technology is improving, people are adopting it, but there is much still to do. Much more can be done. This Event Aims to showcase work so far nd help accelerate the movement of this esearch into practice - ultimately benefiting the health and quality of life of thousands of eople with a Spinal Cord Injury around the world.
