Wheelchair sports were developed for people with spinal cord injuries, and have contributed greatly to the improvement of physical fitness and social interaction of handicapped people. Previously, wheelchair sports were used as a method of rehabilitation to increase the recreational activity of wheelchair-bound persons. Recently, however wheelchair sports have been expanded to include actual competitions for wheelchair athletes. There are numerous international wheelchair competitions and races all over the world. A wheelchair marathon race, one of the most strenuous wheelchair sports, has become a popular event in Japan. The Oita International Wheelchair Marathon has been held annually since 1981. In addition, the International Wheelchair Tennis competition in Iizuka City started in 1985. For the past 13 years, we have investigated the physiological aspects of wheelchair athletes primarily through these two competitions. In this review, the results of these studies are summarized and the significance of wheelchair sports is discussed from the medical rehabilitation point of view.
轮椅运动是为脊髓损伤患者开发的，对提高残疾人的身体素质和社交互动有很大贡献。以前，轮椅运动被用作一种康复方法，以增加坐轮椅者的娱乐活动。然而最近，轮椅运动已扩展到包括为轮椅运动员举办的实际比赛。世界各地有众多国际轮椅比赛和赛事。轮椅马拉松比赛是最激烈的轮椅运动之一，在日本已成为一项受欢迎的活动。大分国际轮椅马拉松自1981年起每年举办。此外，1985年开始在饭冢市举办国际轮椅网球比赛。在过去13年里，我们主要通过这两项比赛对轮椅运动员的生理方面进行了研究。在这篇综述中，总结了这些研究结果，并从医学康复的角度讨论了轮椅运动的意义。
