Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the reliability of initial maximum push-rim propulsion (IMPRP) and sprint performance in elite wheelchair basketball players, while also examining the role of strength in sprinting ability.
- Fifteen male international wheelchair basketball players participated, with tests conducted for maximum push from a stationary position and sprint times over distances of 3, 5, and 12 meters.
- Results indicated that IMPRP showed high reliability, correlating strongly with sprint performance, suggesting that improving strength exercises could enhance sprinting capacity in wheelchair basketball athletes.
