Purpose:To describe the objective and subjective match load (ML) of wheelchair basketball (WB) and determine the relationship between session heart-rate (HR) -based ML and rating-of-perceived-exertion (RPE) -based ML methods.Methods:HR-based measurements of ML included Edwards ML and Stagno training impulses (TRIMPMOD), while RPE-based ML measurements included respiratory (sRPEres) and muscular (sRPEmus). Data were collected from 10 WB players during a whole competitive season.Results:Edwards ML and TRIMPMOD averaged across 16 matches were 255.3 ± 66.3 and 167.9 ± 67.1 AU, respectively. In contrast, sRPEres ML and sRPEmus ML were found to be higher (521.9 ± 188.7 and 536.9 ± 185.8 AU, respectively). Moderate correlations (r = .629–.648, P < .001) between Edwards ML and RPE-based ML methods were found. Moreover, similar significant correlations were also shown between the TRIMPMOD and RPE-based ML methods (r = .627–.668, P < .001). That said, only ≥40% of variance in HR-based ML was explained by RPE-based ML, which could be explained by the heterogeneity of physical-impairment type.Conclusion:RPE-based ML methods could be used as an indicator of global internal ML in highly trained WB players.

“…Although little research has addressed outcomes of power soccer participation, limited empirical data support similar psychomotor and affective benefits as disability sport in general. Barfield and colleagues noted that 71 percent of power wheelchair soccer players with CP or MD sustained an exercise intensity of 55 percent of peak heart rate for more than 30 min during power wheelchair soccer competition [25]. This intensity is associated with healthrelated fitness improvement.…”

Abstract-Lack of exercise is a major risk factor for secondary conditions among persons dependent upon motorized wheelchairs. Power wheelchair soccer is a unique exercise opportunity for this population, and understanding factors that influence exercise decision-making is necessary for clinicians to help those in motorized chairs reduce their secondary risk. Therefore, this study examined differences in perceived benefits and barriers to exercise among power wheelchair soccer players using a mixed-methods analysis. The most common perceived benefit to exercise was "Exercising lets me have contact with friends and persons I enjoy." Post hoc comparisons of quantitative data indicated that persons with muscular dystrophy perceived exercise to be significantly less important than did other disability groups (p < 0.05). "Exercise is hard work for me," "Exercise tires me," and "There are too few places for me to exercise" were the most common perceived barriers. These findings can assist with development of exercise opportunities for power wheelchair users.

“…Barfield et al monitored heart rate among people with SCI, cerebral palsy (CP), and muscular dystrophy competing in a national power soccer tournament [5]. They determined that disability type did influence heart rate responses during PWC sports, since the median heart rate responses for athletes with CP was significantly higher (p < 0.01) than athletes with SCI.…”

“…Sports and recreation are of the utmost importance for maintaining or increasing functional capacity and psychological well-being for people with physical disabilities [3][4]. Regular physical activity has been found to reduce the risk of secondary complications and comorbidities associated with injury or disease and to increase functional capacity [3,5]. However, individuals with higher levels of physical impairment have difficulty participating in regular physical activity because of various limitations [6].…”

Abstract-This study determined the driving characteristics of wheelchair users during power wheelchair soccer games. Data for this study were collected at the 28th and 29th National Veterans Wheelchair Games. Nineteen veterans who were 18 years or older and power wheelchair soccer players completed a brief demographic survey and provided information about their power wheelchairs. A customized data-logging device was placed on each participant's wheelchair before power soccer game participation. The data logger was removed at the end of the final game for each participant. The average distance traveled during the games was 899.5 +/-592.5 m, and the average maximum continuous distance traveled was 256.0 +/-209.4 m. The average wheelchair speed was 0.8 +/-0.2 m/s, and the average duration of driving time was 17.6 +/-8.3 min. Average proportion of time spent at a speed >1 m/s was 30.7% +/-33.8%, between 0.5 and 1 m/s was 16.2% +/-34.4%, and <0.5 m/s was 21.4% +/-24.3%. The information from this descriptive study provides insight for future research in the field of adapted sports for people with high levels of impairments who use power wheelchairs for their mobility.
