“…Seven studies [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ] were excluded with reason ( n = 2, not reporting sufficient details; n = 5, not disaggregating data according to para-sports discipline). Finally, 37 studies [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ] were retained in the present scoping review. We found that the included studies focused on a range of aspects involving health, classification, the etiology of injuries, and performance.…”

“…Only two studies [ 32 , 33 ] explored the psychophysiological responses in PP. Da Silva et al [ 32 ] found that, in a sample of seven male athletes (aged 41.0 ± 10.1 years; body weight 84.7 ± 21.1 kg) undergoing a 4-week program of strength training, the increase in maximum dynamic strength ( p < 0.001; ES = 0.50) was paralleled by an increase in stress as measured by means of the “Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes” (RESTQ-Sport) scales, with significant increases in the lack of energy ( p < 0.022; ES = 1.30), success ( p < 0.035; ES = 0.33), and sleep quality ( p < 0.007; ES = 0.62).…”

Paralympic powerlifting (PP), formerly known as “International Paralympic Committee” (IPC) powerlifting, is the format of powerlifting adapted for athletes with disabilities, and it differs from the version for able-bodied athletes in that it consists of bench press only. According to the mandate of the IPC, PP athletes should be enabled to achieve sporting excellence. As such, rigorous evidence is needed. However, to the best of our knowledge, there exists no systematic assessment of the body of scholarly evidence in the field of PP. Therefore, the present study was conducted to fill in this gap of knowledge, by conducting a scoping review of the literature enhanced by a bibliometrics analysis and by mining two major scholarly databases (MEDLINE via PubMed and Scopus). The aim was to provide a review/summary of the findings to date to help practitioners and athletes. Thirty-seven studies were retained in the present study. These covered the following thematic areas: (i) warm-up strategies (n = 2); (ii) aspects of training (n = 2); (iii) physiological aspects and responses (n = 2); (iv) psychological aspects and responses (n = 2); (v) biomechanics of bench press (n = 8); (vi) recovery strategy (n = 5); (vii) impact of the disability and type of disability (n = 4); (viii) epidemiology of PP (n = 6); and (ix) new analytical/statistical approaches for kinematics assessments, internal load monitoring, and predictions of mechanical outputs in strength exercises and in PP (n = 6). Bibliometrics analysis of the PP-related scientific output revealed that, despite having already become a paralympic sports discipline in 1984, only in the last few years, PP has been attracting a lot of interest from the community of researchers, with the first scholarly contribution dating back to 2012, and with more than one-third of the scientific output being published this year (2022). As such, this scholarly discipline is quite recent and young. Moreover, the community dealing with this topic is poorly interconnected, with most authors contributing to just one article, and with one single author being a hub node of the author network. Distributions of the number of articles and the authors/co-authors were found to be highly asymmetrical, indicating that this research is still in its infancy and has great room as well as great potential to grow. Reflecting this, many research topics are also overlooked and underdeveloped, with the currently available evidence being based on a few studies.

“…Ainda no século XXI, competições de alto rendimento e, principalmente, de desportos colectivos, são associadas a um estereótipo masculino, ligado à luta e confrontação (Marivoet, 2002), inclusive no campo paralímpico (Gomes et al, 2011;Roy, 2012). Porém, o processo de real igualdade de oportunidades de participação no campo desportivo ainda está longe de ser concluído.…”

“…Ainda que a perceção dos atletas deste estudo aponte para a tendência da igualdade de oportunidades na divulgação mediática entre homens e mulheres, e os dados da literatura sustentem o aumento da participação feminina (Brittain, 2010;Gomes et al, 2011), ainda existe uma série de barreiras culturais impostas por estereótipos de género no campo paralímpico, a necessitar de serem transpostas por mulheres atletas, a fim de conquistarem uma maior igualdade de condições de legitimação da sua participação desportiva (Howe, 2011;Roy, 2012).…”

A abordagem mediática sobre o desporto paralímpico: perspetivas de atletas portugueses

<p>O desporto paralímpico encontra-se em processo de afirmação como fenómeno de espetacularização, tendo nos média uma ferramenta de divulgação dos seus ideais e produtos, além de via para potenciais transformações sociais relativas a pessoas com deficiência. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as características e tendências da abordagem mediática ao movimento paralímpico, com base em percepções pessoais de nove atletas paralímpicos portugueses, oito homens e uma mulher, com deficiência visual ou física, todos com experiência internacional nas modalidades desportivas de boccia, natação ou atletismo. A partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas, a análise de resultados pelo método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo e a discussão dos dados com base em categorias sociológicas de Pierre Bourdieu, em particular a teoria dos campos, tem-se como principais resultados: i) a divulgação paralímpica ainda é reduzida, tanto em Portugal como em outros países, porém encontra-se em crescimento; ii) os atletas, na sua maioria, preferem a divulgação dos seus feitos desportivos em detrimento do discurso sensacionalista sobre a superação de dificuldades oriundas da condição de deficiência; iii) o desporto paralímpico é desprestigiado em relação ao olímpico. Como principais conclusões encontra-se o descontentamento dos atletas com a reduzida cobertura mediática, com o estigma <em>supercrip</em> e com a supremacia do futebol, tornando-se evidente a manifestação de uma vontade de ocuparem um espaço de maior relevo no campo desportivo, o que lhes conferiria maior legitimidade e possibilidade de desenvolvimento atlético-competitivo, além de ganhos financeiros e sociais.</p>

Purpose. The study aim was to evaluate the maximum dynamic strength (MDS), mood levels, stress, and recovery during strength training in Paralympic powerlifting (PP). Methods. The study involved 7 male PP athletes (41.0 ± 10.1 years; 84.7 ± 21.1 kg). MDS (one-repetition maximum [1RM] with bench press), stress/recovery (RESTQ-Sport), mood status (BRUMS), and resting heart rate (oximeter) were determined before and after a PP training mesocycle (4 weeks). The bench press training was performed with 5 sets of 5 repetitions (5 × 5) with 80-85% of 1RM in the 1 st week, 5 × 3 with 85-90% of 1RM in the 2 nd week, 5 × 1-3 with 90-95% of 1RM in the 3 rd week, and 5 × 5 with 40-70% of 1RM in the 4 th week.Results. There was a significant increase in MDS (p < 0.001; effect size [ES]: 0.50). In the RESTQ-Sport scales, lack of energy (p < 0.022; ES: 1.30), success (p < 0.035; ES: 0.33), and sleep quality (p < 0.007; ES: 0.62) increased. The scales of general well-being (p < 0.012; ES: 2.18), interval disturbances (p < 0.021; ES: 3.14), personal acceptance, and self-regulation (p < 0.006; ES: 2.21) decreased. Regarding mood, the dimensions of tension (p < 0.003; ES: 1.32), depression (p < 0.001; ES: 5.00), anger (p < 0.001; ES: 4.75), fatigue (p < 0.002; ES: 0.72), and confusion (p < 0.002; ES: 2.09) increased and the vigour decreased (p < 0.001; ES: 0.87). Conclusions. The internal training load can be controlled by psychophysiological indicators in PP.
