Relationship Between Muscle Strength,Anaerobic,Aerobic Capacity,and Sportive Performance in WC Basketball Athletes

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between shoulder internal and external rotation isokinetic muscle strength, grip strength, anaerobic capacity, aerobic capacity and sportive performance in wheelchair basketball athletes. Through this work, we aim to contribute to the literature with objective, blood-based results.

The wheelchair (WC) basketball characterizes high intensity activities such as rolling, rebounding, rolling, smashing overhead. Because these activities are fast and powerful, they require both anaerobic and aerobic capacities. The main factors affecting WC Basketball performance are upper extremity muscle strength and aerobic capacity. It is stated that higher muscle power and aerobic performance in WC Basketball will provide more independence in daily life activities as well as increased speed and power during sports play.

WC basketball players have both a spore-specific activities and a shoulder rotational muscle strength aerobic power components have a critical functional role when using a wheelchair. When the literature on this subject is examined, it is seen that there is a limited number of works for WC basketball sport which is very popular nowadays. Assessment of upper limb muscle strength, aerobic capacity and sporting performance in wheelchair basketball athletes is crucial in regulating the athletes' training programs and establishing individual training programs.

About this study

This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between isokinetic muscle strength of shoulder internal and external rotation, grip strength, anaerobic capacity, aerobic capacity and sportive performance in wheelchair basketball athletes.

26 wheelchair basketball athletes were involved into the study. Wheelchair basketball players were divided into two groups according to the classification levels (Group 1: less than 3 points, Group 2: 3 points and higher). Upper extremity muscle strengths were evaluated with the ISOMED 2000® isokinetic device. Hand grip strength was evaluated with hydraulic hand dynamometer. The measurement of the aerobic capacity was measured using its own wheelchair on the treadmill by applying a custom ramp protocol. Anaerobic capacity was evaluated with Wingate anaerobic power test (WAnT) for 30 seconds in standard laboratory conditions. The sportive performances were assessed by "20 m Sprint test", "Slalom Test" and "Zone Shot" tests.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Professional and / or competitor measurement athlete playing TS basketball for at least one year

Being between the ages of 18-45
Approving participation in written work as self-employed or legal representative
Possibility of co-oping the parameters to be applied in the study
There is no health problem between their own

Exclusion criteria

• Have undergone surgery with upper extremity and / or upper body in the past 6 months

Acute shoulder pain
Leaving the sport for at least 3 months, not actively participating in the training
Partial or complete finger loss in the upper extremity, congenital deformity and contractures, spasticity

Treatment and study plan

Aerobic Capacity

Diagnostic Test

Upper limb muscle strength assessments of the athletes will be performed with the ISOMED 2000® isokinetic device and the grip strength with the Jamar® dynamometer. The aerobic capacity values will be measured using the Cosmed K5® instrument and the TS in the Cosmos-Saturn brand running band. Anaerobic capacity will be measured by Wingate anaerobic power test (WanT) for 30 seconds in standard laboratory conditions for TS basketball athletes using Monark 894 E model ergometer developed by Monark for upper extremity anaerobic capacity and power measurement. The sporty performances will be evaluated with the "20 m Sprint test", "Slalom Test" and "Zone Shot" tests.
