The main causes of death in SCI subjects are connect with cardiovascular diseases, confirmed by intimal carotid layer stiffness, Metabolic Syndrome thru fat accumulation in the torso, upper body and caquexia and inflammation caused by physical inactivity (MATOS-SOUZA et al. 2009; MARUYAMA et al. 2008; MYERS et al. 2007; FROST et al. 2005; MANNS et al. 2005). We analyzed the blood samples of 29 athletes with disabilities and compared with sedentary subjects, that belong to the same group of disabilities, paraplegics and tetraplegics. Using the metabolomics technique we were able to identify small molecules in the blood samples that in conjunction form a profile which characterize a group.
