Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Fifteen Spanish international WB male players participated in this study. The maximum single wheelchair push from a stationary position (IMPRP) and the sprint performance (ie,\u00a03, 5, and 12\u00a0m) of WB players were measured in this study. Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> IMPRP mechanical outputs V<\/jats:italic>, V<\/jats:italic>max<\/jats:sub>, P, Rel. P, F<\/jats:italic>, and Rel. F<\/jats:italic> variables presented high reliability values (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]\u2009\u2265\u2009.92; coefficient of variation [CV]\u2009\u2264\u20098.04\u2009\u00b1\u20097.37; standard error of measurement [SEM]\u2009\u2264\u200929.92), but the maximum strength variables Pmax<\/jats:sub>, Rel.

The most substantial correlations were identified between maximum IMPRP values (ie,\u00a0V<\/jats:italic>, V<\/jats:italic>max<\/jats:sub>, P, Rel. P, F<\/jats:italic>, and Rel. F<\/jats:italic>) and sprint performance in 3\u00a0m (r<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u00b1\u2009 confidence limits\u2009\u2265\u2009\u22120.74\u2009\u00b1\u20090.22, very large; R<\/jats:italic>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009\u2265\u2009.55), 5\u00a0m (r<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u00b1\u2009 confidence limits\u2009\u2265\u2009\u22120.72\u2009\u00b1\u20090.24, very large; R<\/jats:italic>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009\u2265\u2009.51), and 12\u00a0m (r<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u00b1\u2009 confidence limits\u2009\u2265\u2009\u22120.67\u2009\u00b1\u20090.27, large; R<\/jats:italic>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009\u2265\u2009.44). Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The IMPRP test and sprint tests (3, 5, and 12\u00a0m) are practical and reliable for measuring strength and speed in WB players. In addition, there were large to very large associations among strength variables (ie,\u00a0P, Rel. P, F<\/jats:italic>, and Rel. F<\/jats:italic>) and all sprint variables. This could indicate a need to implement specific strength exercises in WB players to improve sprint capacity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2023-0206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,23]],"date-time":"2023-11-23T10:52:14Z","timestamp":1700736734000},"page":"127-132","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Initial Maximum Push-Rim Propulsion and Sprint Performance in Elite Men\u2019s Wheelchair Basketball"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7004-5341","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aitor","family":"Iturricastillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Society, Sports and Physical Exercise Research Group (GIKAFIT), Department of Physical Education and Sport, Faculty of Education and Sport, University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU), Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain"},{"name":"Bioaraba, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8011-4301","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jordi","family":"Sanchez-Grau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group in Tecnologia Aplicada a l\u2019Alt Rendiment i la Salut (TAARS), Tecnocampus, Department of Health Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, Matar\u00f3, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5458-058X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gerard","family":"Carmona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group in Tecnologia Aplicada a l\u2019Alt Rendiment i la Salut (TAARS), Tecnocampus, Department of Health Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, Matar\u00f3, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8988-0814","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Adri\u00e1n","family":"Garc\u00eda-Fresneda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group in Tecnologia Aplicada a l\u2019Alt Rendiment i la Salut (TAARS), Tecnocampus, Department of Health Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, Matar\u00f3, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8965-5024","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Javier","family":"Yanci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Society, Sports and Physical Exercise Research Group (GIKAFIT), Department of Physical Education and Sport, Faculty of Education and Sport, University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU), Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"r1","series-title":"Front Psychol","article-title":"Laboratory and non-laboratory assessment of anaerobic performance of elite male wheelchair basketball athletes","volume":"10","author":"Marsza\u0142ek J","year":"2019","unstructured":"Marsza\u0142ek J, Kosmol A, Morgulec-Adamowicz N, et\u00a0al.
