This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how food affects your cardiovascular and metabolic health, particularly in people with spinal cord injury. This study will test how your body responds to small, medium, and large meals by measuring changes in your heart function and metabolism. The findings could help doctors better manage health risks in people with spinal cord injury.
People with spinal cord injury often face unique challenges with metabolism and heart health that may be related to how their bodies process food. This research aims to understand these differences so that better health strategies can be developed for this population.

You would participate in three separate study periods, each lasting up to 3 weeks. During each period, you would eat meals of different sizes—small, medium, or large—while researchers measure how your heart and metabolism respond to each meal. The study involves blood work, heart monitoring, and metabolic testing to track these changes across the different meal conditions.
