Weight Management in Paraplegic Athletes

  You have been approached by a university paraplegic basketball team to assess their cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, and body composition over the course of a season. Outline explicitly how and when you would conduct your assessment. Also, the coach asks for alternative ways of improving the cardiovascular levels of his players while having his players decrease their body fat percentage. Explain at least 2 different methods of cardiovascular exercise and suggest methods of decreasing body fat percentage for these athletes. Be thorough in your analysis of each cardiovascular mode.
