This editorial presents some methodological issues that should be considered when performing physical exercise in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and raises the need for specific knowledge to adjust the protocols and training programs used in this population. SCI is a paradigmatic case of a population with special characteristics in which there is a multisystemic alteration like neuromuscular, card iovascular, respiratory, endocrine and others (Perrouin-Verbe et al., 2021) that influences the ability to perform physical exercise and the physiological response to it (Hicks et al., 2011). The development of aerobic training programs requires accurate monitoring of exercise Intensity and knowledge of the metabolic response in terms of energy substrates used as a function of exercise intensity and duration. It is therefore necessary to know the pathophysiological characteristics of people with SCI and the ir response to exercise in order to make interventions safe and provide, in turn, health results
