Isometric trunk strength in seated para-athletes
Introduction Trunk muscle strength is an important performance indicator in para-athletes competing in seated sports and is commonly assessed in classification systems using manual muscle testing (MMT), together with functional and sport-specific tests. Quantitative isometric strength measures may provide complementary information about force-generating capacity. However, the relationship between isometric trunk strength and MMT-assessed trunk an…
From trunk and hip muscle function to class allocation
Background Functional assessment in wheelchair basketball (WB) has three evaluation stages: analysis of isolated functions, combined functional measures, and the observation of volume of action (VoA) in a sporting context. Sport class allocation relies on VoA assessed in controlled conditions (VoA-capacity), which corresponds to combined functional measures, and during game observation (VoA-performance). However, the contribution of each assessme…
Para sport and anti-doping
Introduction A well-functioning anti-doping system relies on being perceived by athletes as effective, fair, and practically feasible to implement. While research has highlighted the views of Olympic athletes on anti-doping over the past decade, the experiences and perceptions of Para athletes have not been extensively explored. The purpose of this study was to examine Swedish elite Para athletes' experiences and perceptions of the policy and pra…
