Summary

This study is testing whether a 24-week live telehealth exercise program, set to music and tailored to individual abilities, can improve cardiometabolic health in 132 adult wheelchair users. The program focuses on reducing risk factors like waist size, blood sugar, and cholesterol. A 12-week follow-up will check if gains last.
