“…Recently, some studies have attempted to assess game performance in such Paralympic sports as wheelchair basketball ( Molik et al, 2009 ; Vanlandewijck et al, 1995 ; Vanlandewijck et al, 2003 ; Vanlandewijck et al, 2004 ), wheelchair rugby ( Molik et al, 2008 ; Morgulec-Adamowicz et al, 2010 ; Sarro et al, 2010 ; Sporner et al, 2009 ) and ice sledge hockey ( Kudláĉek et al, 2006 ; Molik et al, 2012 ). These studies have investigated performance differences during games between the classification levels of athletes with disabilities, and comparisons of teams’ performances relative to their ranking in competitions and players’ performances related to their game position.…”

Goalball is a Paralympic sport exclusively for athletes who are visually impaired and blind. The aims of this Additional anthropometric measurements included body mass (kg), body height (cm), the arm span (cm) and length of the body in the defensive position (cm). The results differentiating both groups showed that the players with total blindness obtained higher means than the players with visual impairment for game indicators such as the sum of defense (p = 0.03) and the sum of good defense (p = 0.04). The players with visual impairment obtained higher results than those with total blindness for attack efficiency (p = 0.04), the sum of penalty defenses (p = 0.01), and fouls (p =

“…Similarly, Häyrinen and Blomqvist (2006) and Häyrinen et al (2010) performed match analysis of elite sitting volleyball and female sitting volleyball at the international level, respectively, but they also concentrated only on the game variables. However, in other disciplines such as ice sledge hockey or wheelchair rugby, game performance could prove lack of necessity to divide athletes into groups in terms of the level/type of disability ( Molik et al, 2012 ; Morgulec-Adamowicz et al, 2010).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate relationships between anaerobic performance, field tests, game performance and anthropometric variables of sitting volleyball players. Twenty elite Polish sitting volleyball players were tested using the 30 s Wingate Anaerobic Test for arm crank ergometer and participated in six physical field tests. Heights in position to block and to spike, as well as arm reach were measured. Players were observed during the game on the court in terms of effectiveness of the serve, block, attack, receive and defense. Pearson analysis and the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used. The strongest correlations were found between the chest pass test and mean power and peak power (r=.846; p=.001 and r=.708; p=.0005, respectively), and also between the T-test and peak power (r= −.718; p=.001). Mean power correlated with the 3 m test (r= −.540; p=.014), the 5 m test (r= −.592; p=.006), and the T-test (r= −.582; p=.007). Peak power correlated with the 3 m test (r= −.632; p=.003), the 5 m test (r= −.613; p=.004), speed & agility (r= −.552; p=.012) and speed & endurance (r=−.546; p=.013). Significant correlations were observed between anthropometric parameters and anaerobic performance variables (p≤.001), and also between anthropometric parameters and field tests (p≤.05). Game performance and physical fitness of sitting volleyball players depended on their anthropometric variables: reach of arms, the position to block and to spike. The chest pass test could be used as a non-laboratory field test of anaerobic performance of sitting volleyball players.

“…In the literature there are a few studies reporting data on the anthropometric and body composition characteristics of athletes with disabilities in WB ( Cavedon et al, 2015 ; Granados et al, 2015 ) as well as some of the other Paralympic sports, e.g., swimming ( Dingley et al, 2015 ), throwing ( Spathis et al, 2015 ), athletics ( Connick et al, 2016 ), ice sledge hockey ( Molik et al, 2012 ), and rowing ( Porto et al, 2008 ). In WB the papers by Cavedon et al (2015) and Granados et al (2015) , highlighted that the sitting height, along with other upper body linear anthropometric variables, are especially relevant to WB performance, reporting that higher values in the sitting height could give some advantage in WB performance (e.g., throwing or passing the basketball ball).…”

Anthropometry, Body Composition, and Performance in Sport-Specific Field Test in Female Wheelchair Basketball Players

2018

Data on the physical and performance characteristics of female wheelchair basketball (WB) players are scarce. In several countries female WB players train and compete with male players on mixed teams due to the limited total population of players, which would otherwise lead to large territorial spread for each team. Any differences in terms of physical characteristics and/or WB skill proficiency between male and female WB players would be relevant to team performance in mixed teams. This work examined anthropometry, body composition, and performance in a set of sport-specific field tests in a sample of 13 female WB players representing about 40% of the eligible population in Italy across a range of functional point scores (Point). Point is assigned on an ordinal scale from 1.0 (i.e., players with minimal functional potential) through to 4.5 (players with maximum functional potential). Our female sample was then compared against twice as many (n = 26) Point-matched (±0.5 points) male players. The two groups were similar for age (P = 0.191; effect size [d] = 0.2), self-reported duration of injury (P = 0.144, d = 0.6), WB experience (P = 0.178, d = 0.5), and volume of training (P = 0.293, d = 0.4). The large majority of measured linear anthropometric variables (10/13) were lower in female players than males (0.001 < P ≤ 0.041). Skinfold-estimated percent body fat was higher (+7.6%) in females (30.7 ± 6.0%; P < 0.001, d = 1.3). Mean performance was worse in female than in males in six out of seven sport-specific field tests, scores being significantly lower in females for the maximal pass (7.5 ± 2.0 m for females vs. 10.4 ± 2.8 m for males; P = 0.002, d = 1.2) and suicide tests (55.8 ± 6.4 s for females vs. 45.4 ± 6.7 s for males; P < 0.001, d = 1.6). When performance in subgroups of females (n = 9) chosen across a range of Point was compared with that of males assigned 1.0 or 1.5 Point less (each n = 9), performance differences between male and female WB players were partially and completely eliminated, respectively. This work contributed new data for characterizing the physique and performance of female WB players. Further, the results suggested that when male and female athletes compete together in mixed teams, a 1.5 points subtraction from female players is needed to match the real gender difference in performance.

Game Performance in Ice Sledge Hockey

Abstract: The results may confirm the lack of a need for additional classification in sledge hockey beyond minimum eligibility or may enhance the argument that a classification system may be needed because the lower functioning disabilities are not being represented in the sport.
