Farì, G., Quarta, F., Longo, S.C., Zappile, F., Masiero, L., Varrassi, G., Bernetti, A. “…A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey. Participants were divided into two groups based on classification score: low-point players (LPPs; 1.0-2.5), who have greater physical impairment, and high-point players (HPPs; 3.0-4.5), who have lower physical impairment. …”

Van Biesen, D., Augustovicová, D., Pineda, R. C., Nemcek, D., Burns, J. “…Karate is one of the most popular martial arts.

Guettler, I. T., Perez, N. J., Watson, T. O., Thomas, A., Farrell, J. W. III. “…Based on the available evidence, wheelchair racing athletes have a well-developed Vo2max and race at high percentages of their Vo2max. Coaches should focus exercise training interventions on improving wheelchair racing athlete's V?…”

Skovereng, K., Ettema, G., Welde, B., Sandbakk, Ø. “…Overall, these results demonstrate that there are close relationships between upper-body strength, power, and sprint performance in highly trained athletes and that the ability to produce propulsion and high frequency in combination is important for the sprint abilities in ice sledge hockey.…”

Roldan, A., Barbado, D., Vera-Garcia, F. J., Sarabia, J. M., Reina, R. “…However, the appropriateness of the current test to assess trunk function has never been studied to determine its reliability, validity and sensitivity to discriminate between different levels of impairment. …”

Severin, A. C., Baumgart, J. K., Kocbach, J. “…Double poling at higher work rates requires increased trunk motions [2], and it is likely that the trunk function of Para sit-skiers will influence their ability to produce high power output [3] and speeds. …”

Vinokourov, L. V., Lebedeva, A. L. “…We used the method of expert survey of leading coaches of high-class paraswimmers (Master of Sports, Master of Sports of International Class, Honored Master of Sports) using a questionnaire. …”

Mannella, S., Bundon, A. “…The partnership transforms many sports -typically understood to be individual- into team sports, yet little is known about this unique sport relationship. The purpose of this study was to explore how the athlete - guide partnership challenges and reproduces normative assumptions of bodies, abilities, and high-performance sport. …”

Leprêtre, P., Maruitte, T., Guimard, A., Regaieg, M. A., Letocart, A., Guignard, B., Seifert, L. “…INTRODUCTION High level of motor flexibility, illustrated by stroke rate (SR) changes during competitive event, may explain the swimming performance (Seifert et al. 2014). …”

Peña-González, I., Javaloyes, A., Sarabia, J. M., Moya-Ramón, M. “…Nevertheless, the literature has shown that the main physical actions that determine a high performance (eg, accelerations, sprints, or changes of direction among others) are the same as in regular football.2,3 Both regular and CP football are intermittent sports in which the aforementioned short and high-intensity actions, which are responsible for players` high performance, are alternated with low-intensity recovery periods.2 Players` physical performance in these determinant actions is usually assessed by linear-sprint, jump, and/or change-of-direction tests,4-7 whereas the ability to resist the repetition of these high-intensity efforts is usually assessed with intermittent endurance tests (eg, the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test or the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test).8 An increase in the number of CP football practitioners5 together with the increasing interest in physical performance assessment in CP football has been reflected in a high number of scientific publications in CP football during the past years. …”

Iturricastillo, A., Yanci, J., Granados, C. “…Thirteen Spanish first division WB male players participated in this study. A test battery (change of direction ability, sprints, and sled towing) was performed to study neuromuscular responses before (pre) and after (post) the small-sided games (SSG). …”

Iturricastillo, A., Garcia-Tabar, I., Reina, R., Garcia-Fresneda, A., Carmona, G., Perez-Tejero, J., Yanci, J. “…This study aims 1) to compare repeated change of direction ability (rCODA) and bench press (BP) between low (A category, =2.5) and high (B category, =3.0) sport classes and 2) to analyse the relationships between rCODA and BP performance in a sample of wheelchair basketball (WB) players. …”

Chen, X., Huang, Y., Jiang, L., Sun, Q., Tian, Y., Zhou, Z., Yin, J., Gao, Y., Liu, C., Huo, B. “…Based on the resulting rotator cuff muscle geometry of the model, simulated muscle activation patterns were comparable to experimental data, and muscle-driven ability was proven. The model will be available online (https://simtk.org/projects/bit) for researchers to study the muscle activation of shoulder joint movement.…”

Ongaratto, D., Feitosa, W. G., Correia, R. A., Castro, F. A. S. “…Conclusions Swimmers with physical impairment of different sport classes presented, predominately, high aerobic metabolism contribution to the Etot and different values of C, with a certain tendency of C being lower in those faster swimmers than in slower swimmers. …”
