No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relation between grip position and maximal strength and power in wheelchair rugby and basketball athletes. The main question is to investigate the relationship between maximal isometric force, acceleration, and sprint time.

Participants will

* pull in their sport wheelchair against a force transducer
* push in their sport wheelchair from a force transducer
* accelerate as fast as possible with one push
* accelerate as fast as possible over a distance of 20m

Researchers will compare the wheelchair basketball against wheelchair rugby players to see if there is a difference in the parameters.
