Abstract
Purpose: To (i) determine the association between psychological factors and physical activities of wheelchair-dependent people who have had a spinal cord injury (SCI) for at least 5 years and (ii) to determine the association between psychological factors and health-related fitness of wheelchair-dependent people who have had a SCI for at least 5 years. Methods: 183 people (age 44.3 ± 12 years) with a SCI (motor (in) complete tetraplegia and paraplegia; 9.5±7.6 years since injury) were included in this study. During a test day psychological factors (depression (MHI-5 and HADS), global self-efficacy (ALCOS-12), exercise self-efficacy (SCI-ESES) and self-efficacy in wheeled mobility (SEWMS)), health-related fitness components (peak oxygen uptake (VOzpeak (L/min)), peak power output (POpeak (W)), the ability score and performance time score of the wheelchair circuit) and physical activity (self-reported physical activity (PASIPD)) were measured. Results: Global self-efficacy was significantly associated with the PASIPD score (p = 0.026). Furthermore, a significant association was found between exercise self-efficacy and the VOzpeak (p = 0.022). SEWMS was high significant correlated with the POpeak (r = 0.90, p = 0.001) and a moderate, non significant, correlation was found between SEWMS and the ability score (r = 0.50, p = 0.139) and the performance time score (r = -0.58, p = 0.077). No association and only low, non significant, correlations were found between depression and physical activity or any health-related fitness components. Conclusion: Only assumptions can be made about the association between self-efficacy (global, exercise selfefficacy and self-efficacy in wheeled mobility) and physical activity or health-related fitness components. More research is needed. Further, it seems that there is no association between depression and physical activity or health-related fitness components among wheelchair dependent people with a SCI.
