Wheelchair fencing (WF) is a very practiced sport within the Paralympic world. A careful analysis of the characteristics and data of a WF athlete can be useful for coaches and movement experts to better plan a training program. The objective of the study was to evaluate physical fitness assessment methods adopted in WF and to propose a standard operating procedures (SOP).
Original articles written in English were included in this review, and the population studied was composed of athletes who practiced WF. Studies were searched from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases using keywords and Boolean operators. Eight studies were included in this review.
Most of the studies converge and agree on the physical, physiological, and technical characteristics of a WF athlete.
The scientific literature referring to this sport is very scarce, hence the need for new original studies to optimize the SOP proposed.
轮椅击剑(WF)是残奥会中一项非常成熟的运动。对 WF 运动员的特点和数据进行仔细分析,有助于教练和运动专家更好地规划训练计划。本研究的目的是评估 WF 中采用的体能评估方法,并提出标准操作程序(SOP)。
本综述纳入了用英文撰写的原创文章,研究人群由从事 WF 的运动员组成。使用关键词和布尔运算符,从 PubMed、Web of Science 和 Scopus 数据库中搜索研究。本综述纳入了 8 项研究。
大多数研究都一致认为 WF 运动员具有身体、生理和技术特点。
关于这项运动的科学文献非常匮乏,因此需要新的原创研究来优化所提出的 SOP。
