Abstract:
Maximum running speed is a performance determinant in para-athletics and cerebral palsy football. Sixty international para-athletes with brain impairments completed five activity-limitation tests (standing broad jump, four bounds for distance, split jumps, 10-m speed skip, and running in place) and two criterion tests (40-m sprint and modified agility test). The same three tests (standing broad jump, four bounds for distance, and 10-m speed skip) that correlated with running performance in nondisabled runners (.67 < r < -.82; p < .05; 75% of variance) also correlated in para-athletes with brain impairments (.41 < r < -.62; p < .01; 55% of variance). Standing broad jump, four bounds for distance, split jumps, and running in place also correlated with change-of-direction speed (.43 < r < -.63; p < .01; 58% of variance). Results indicate that methods of classification for para-athletics with nondisabled runners are also valid with para-athletes with brain impairments, and new sport-specific relationships were found for assessing the performance of rapid and short sprints toward different directions, specific of a team para-sport like cerebral palsy football.
摘要:
最大跑步速度是田径运动和脑瘫足球的表现决定因素。60名患有脑损伤的国际准运动员完成了五项活动限制测试(站立跳远,距离的四个界限,分裂跳跃,10米速度跳跃,并就地运行)和两个标准测试(40米冲刺和修改后的敏捷性测试)。同样的三个测试(站立跳跃,距离的四个界限,和10米速度跳跃)与非残疾跑步者的跑步表现相关(.67
