This study determined the driving characteristics of wheelchair users during power wheelchair soccer games. Data for this study were collected at the 28th and 29th National Veterans Wheelchair Games. Nineteen veterans who were 18 years or older and power wheelchair soccer players completed a brief demographic survey and provided information about their power wheelchairs. A customized data-logging device was placed on each participant's wheelchair before power soccer game participation. The data logger was removed at the end of the final game for each participant. The average distance traveled during the games was 899.5 +/- 592.5 m, and the average maximum continuous distance traveled was 256.0 +/- 209.4 m. The average wheelchair speed was 0.8 +/- 0.2 m/s, and the average duration of driving time was 17.6 +/- 8.3 min. Average proportion of time spent at a speed >1 m/s was 30.7% +/- 33.8%, between 0.5 and 1 m/s was 16.2% +/- 34.4%, and <0.5 m/s was 21.4% +/- 24.3%. The information from this descriptive study provides insight for future research in the field of adapted sports for people with high levels of impairments who use power wheelchairs for their mobility.
本研究确定了电动轮椅使用者在电动轮椅足球比赛中的驾驶特征。本研究的数据收集于第28届和第29届全国退伍军人轮椅运动会。19名年龄在18岁及以上的退伍军人兼电动轮椅足球运动员完成了一份简短的人口统计学调查，并提供了有关其电动轮椅的信息。在参加电动足球比赛之前，在每位参与者的轮椅上放置了一个定制的数据记录装置。在每位参与者的最后一场比赛结束时移除数据记录器。比赛期间的平均行进距离为899.5 +/- 592.5米，平均最大连续行进距离为256.0 +/- 209.4米。轮椅平均速度为0.8 +/- 0.2米/秒，平均驾驶时间为17.6 +/- 8.3分钟。速度>1米/秒时花费的平均时间比例为30.7% +/- 33.8%，0.5至1米/秒之间为16.2% +/- 34.4%，<0.5米/秒为21.4% +/- 24.3%。这项描述性研究提供的信息为未来针对严重残疾且使用电动轮椅出行的人群开展适应性运动领域的研究提供了见解。
