“…In order to contribute to an evidence-based classification, sport-specific measures of performance determinants are mandatory. 41 Skiing on the adapted ergometer accomplished this requirement; but test precision for high impact of impairment could be improved, for example, considering gender influence or including other variables related to performance determinants. Effect size results (Table 3) showed large value for all the variables with an exception for trunk maximal backward inclination, which had a moderate effect size.…”

The International Paralympic Committee mandates the development of an evidence-based classification system, which requires a measure of performance. Performance in cross-country sit-skiing is mainly dependent on force generated during the poling phase and is enhanced by trunk flexion–extension movements. Since all sit-skiers have neuromuscular impairment, but different ability to control the trunk, this study aimed to verify if simulated action of poling on an adapted ergometer, together with a cluster analysis, could be used for grouping participants with different impairments according to their performance. On the ergometer, eight male and five female participants performed seven poling cycles at maximal speed, while sitting on personal sit-ski. Based on maximal speed, generated force, cycle characteristics, and trunk kinematics, cluster analysis divided participants into three groups showing good accuracy, sensitivity, and precision. Although a validation of this exploratory study is necessary, skiing on the ergometer could be considered as sport-specific measure of performance and may become an interesting tool in the development of an evidence-based classification system for cross-country sit-skiing.

“…Participation in wheelchair sports and the interest in it have developed strongly over the past decades, leading to a more professional approach in wheeled sports and clinical wheelchair practice [ 1 , 2 ]. To optimize wheeling performance, exercise capacity tests are becoming a central topic of interest for sport and rehabilitation scientists, coaches and athletes.…”

Evaluation of a standardized test protocol to measure wheelchair-specific anaerobic and aerobic exercise capacity in healthy novices on an instrumented roller ergometer

This study aims to evaluate whether a test protocol with standardized and individualized resistance settings leads to valid wheelchair Wingate tests (WAnT) and graded exercise tests (GXT) in healthy novices. Twenty able-bodied individuals (10M/10F, age 23 ± 2 years, body mass 72 ± 11 kg) performed an isometric strength test, sprint test, WAnT and GXT on a wheelchair ergometer. Using a previously developed set of regression equations, individuals’ isometric strength outcome was used to estimate the WAnT result (P30est), from which an effective individual WAnT resistance was derived. The subsequently measured WAnT outcome (P30meas) was used to estimate the GXT outcome (POpeakest) and to scale the individual GXT resistance steps. Estimated and measured outcomes were compared. The WAnT protocol was considered valid when maximal velocity did not exceed 3 m·s-1; the GXT protocol was considered valid when test duration was 8–12 min. P30est did not significantly differ from P30meas, while one participant did not have a valid WanT, as maximal velocity exceeded 3 m·s-1. POpeakest was 10% higher than POpeakmeas, and six participants did not reach a valid GXT: five participants had a test duration under 8 min and one participant over 12 min. The isometric strength test can be used to individually scale the WAnT protocol. The WAnT outcome scaled the protocol for the GXT less accurately, resulting in mostly shorter-than-desired test durations. In conclusion, the evaluated standardized and individualized test protocol was valid for the WAnT but less valid for the GXT among a group of novices. Before implementing the standardized individual test protocol on a broader scale, e.g. among paralympic athletes, it should be evaluated among different athletic wheelchair-dependent populations.

“…O rugby em cadeira de rodas é um esporte paralímpico de história recente e, por conta disso, passou a ser um campo de estudo emergente para todas as áreas da educação física (VANLANDEWIJCK, 2016). Dentre as pesquisas realizadas é relatado que a especificidade do material (cadeira de rodas e luvas específicas) para cada atleta tem influência na performance (HAYDON et al 2022; MASON; VAN DER WOUDE;GOOSEY-TOLFREY, 2009), assim como a dieta adotada com base nos aspectos nutricionais (GRAHAM-PAULSON et al, 2016).…”

“…Na área de análise de desempenho, estudos são desenvolvidos para implementar e solidificar o sistema de classificação da modalidade (VANLANDEWIJCK, 2016). A medida em que é analisado o impacto das capacidades aeróbia e anaeróbia na modalidade, o perfil de atividade de cada atleta, a partir da mensuração da distância percorrida, pico de velocidade e número de ações realizadas em alta intensidade e a importância da estabilidade de tronco no rugby em cadeira de rodas com o intuito de implementar ou modificar os testes utilizados para classificação dos jogadores (MORGULEC-ADAMOWICZ et al, 2010;RHODES et al, 2015;SARRO et al, 2010).…”

“…A abordagem é realizada de forma individualizada, com o objetivo de melhorar o desempenho de determina classes funcional. Entretanto, é interessante observar que, estudos que abordam a interferência desses resultados no aspecto coletivo das equipes, devem ser realizados para melhorar as intervenções coletivas e grupais durante as sessões de treino e competições (VANLANDEWIJCK, 2016).…”
