“…7 Although a good balance of the periscapular muscles is recommended to avoid upper-limb injuries and/or pain, 9 few studies have sought to improve this balance. 2,10,11 Even though nearly all published studies found significant differences after implementing a training programme, the vast majority did not include a control group in their study design. Furthermore, the only study that included a control group 12 had a resistance training programme that included activities related to nutrition and videogame ergonometry, making it impossible to determine which improvements were attributable to resistance training.…”

Study design: Time series design. Objectives: To determine the effects of a shoulder resistance training programme on isokinetic and isometric strength, body composition, pain and functionality in paraplegic subjects. Setting: University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. Methods: A total of 15 subjects with thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) performed three testing sessions with an 8-week period between the sessions. Subjects were not disturbed between the first and the second testing sessions. Subjects performed an 8-week resistance training programme after the second testing session. Variations in isometric and isokinetic shoulder muscle strength, body composition, reported pain and shoulder functionality were evaluated. Results: The training programme produced a significant increase (Po0.05) in the isometric and isokinetic strength of several shoulder movements as well as an increase (Po0.05) in arm fat-free mass and a decrease in arm fat mass (FM). Furthermore, reported pain was decreased, (Po0.05) and upper-limb functionality was increased (Po0.05). Conclusion: Implementing resistance training programmes as physical therapy in SCI subjects effectively increases strength, muscle mass and upper-limb functionality, whereas decreasing FM and pain perception.

“…For example, Jacobs, Nash, and Rusinowski 15 used a training programme over 12-weeks, three times a week at 50% 1-RM in 10 sedentary individuals with SCI using military press, horizontal rows, pec dec, preacher curls, wide grip latissimus pull-down and eated dips. Another study by Nash et al 16 used a 16-weeks programme, three times a week, 50% 1-RM in seven individuals with SCI, with military press, horizontal rows, pectoralis, preacher curls, wide grip latissimus pull-down and seated dips. Bjerkefors, Jansson, and Thorstensson 24 10-week, three times a week, 10 sedentary individuals with SCI using kayak ergometer.…”

“…In those studies, training consisted of moderate intensity exercises with arm, kayak and wheelchair ergometers [15][16][17] . Especially, individuals with SCI have physiological disavantages limiting exercise capacity.…”

“…In addition, Olenik et al 14 reported that strengthening and stretching exercises may be beneficial to correct imbalances of the muscles in the upper extremity. Some studies have examined the effect of circuit training training and rehabilitation in wheelchair users 15,16 , but there is a lack of studies on strength training in WCB athletes 17 . As far as we know, no studies have reported the effects of short-duration explosive strength training in WCB athletes.…”

Introduction: Wheelchair basketball is a paralympic sport characterized by intermittent high-intensity activities that require explosive strength and speed. Objective: To investigate the effect of explosive strength training on speed and agility performance in wheelchair basketball players. Methods: Ten male wheelchair basketball players (M age =31±4 yrs) were divided into two groups [i.e. explosive strength training (ES); control (CN)] based on International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) classification scores. The ES group underwent 6-weeks of training, twice weekly, at 50% 1RM, 10-12 repetitions and 3-4 sets in addition to routine training. Effects of training were measured by the 20 m sprint test and Illinois agility test. Results: The ES group, showed significantly higher increases in speed and agility performance (p ≤ .05). Conclusion: A short-duration (i.e. 6-week) explosive strength training programme in wheelchair basketball athletes results in significant improvements in sprint and agility performance.
