Fifteen international WR players (age 30.3\u2009\u00b1\u20095.5\u2009years) performed two 10\u2010s sprints on a dual roller wheelchair ergometer before and immediately after an ISP consisting of four 16\u2010min quarters. Physiological measurements (heart rate, blood lactate concentration, and rating of perceived exertion) were collected. Three\u2010dimensional thorax and bilateral glenohumeral kinematics were quantified. Following the ISP, all physiological parameters significantly increased (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.027), but neither sprinting peak velocity nor distance traveled changed. Players propelled with significantly reduced thorax flexion and peak glenohumeral abduction during both the acceleration (both \u22125\u00b0) and maximal velocity phases (\u22126\u00b0 and 8\u00b0, respectively) of sprinting post\u2010ISP. Moreover, players exhibited significantly larger mean contact angles (+24\u00b0), contact angle asymmetries (+4%), and glenohumeral flexion asymmetries (+10%) during the acceleration phase of sprinting post\u2010ISP. Players displayed greater glenohumeral abduction range of motion (+17\u00b0) and asymmetries (+20%) during the maximal velocity phase of sprinting post\u2010ISP. Players with SCI (SCI, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097) significantly increased asymmetries in peak power (+6%) and glenohumeral abduction (+15%) during the acceleration phase post\u2010ISP. Our data indicates that despite inducing physiological fatigue resulting from WR match play, players can maintain sprint performance by modifying how they propel their wheelchair. Increased asymmetry post\u2010ISP was notable, which may be specific to impairment type and warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.14423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]],"date-time":"2023-06-07T11:11:30Z","timestamp":1686136290000},"page":"1726-1737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Wheelchair rugby players maintain sprint performance but alter propulsion biomechanics after simulated match play"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6043-3607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon J.","family":"Briley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Sciences Research Centre University of Derby  Derby UK"},{"name":"Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences Loughborough University  Leicestershire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas J.","family":"O\u2019Brien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences Loughborough University  Leicestershire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yim\u2010Taek","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences Loughborough University  Leicestershire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4294-6086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riemer J.
