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