INTRODUCTION
Wheelchair basketball is a paralympic sport characterized by intermittent high-intensity activities that require explosive strength and speed.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of explosive strength training on speed and agility performance in wheelchair basketball players.
METHODS
Ten male wheelchair basketball players (Mage=31±4 yrs) were divided into two groups [i.e. explosive strength training (ES); control (CN)] based on International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) classification scores. The ES group underwent 6-weeks of training, twice weekly, at 50% 1RM, 10-12 repetitions and 3-4 sets in addition to routine training. Effects of training were measured by the 20 m sprint test and Illinois agility test.
RESULTS
The ES group, showed significantly higher increases in speed and agility performance (p ≤ .05).
CONCLUSION
A short-duration (i.e. 6-week) explosive strength training programme in wheelchair basketball athletes results in significant improvements in sprint and agility performance.
