A pesar de que las acciones físicas que los jugadores de baloncesto en silla de ruedas (BSR) deben realizar en los partidos son acciones que implican múltiples cambios de dirección y acciones de esprint y cambio de dirección repetidos, en la actualidad no existe ningún trabajo científico que analice la reproducibilidad de distintos test de capacidad de cambio de dirección, esprines y cambios de dirección repetidos. Diecisiete jugadores (15 hombres y 2 mujeres; 25,9±9,7 años) pertenecientes a un equipo de BSR de Primera División Española participaron en este estudio. En la primera semana (Test), en dos sesiones distintas, se realizaron 5 test [Test 3-3-6, Test 505, Test Illinois, Test de Esprines Repetidos (RSA) y el test repetido Modified Agility Test (rMAT)], y una semana después se volvieron a repetir (re-Test). Los resultados de los test de capacidad de cambio de dirección mostraron altos valores de reproducibilidad (CCI>0,74; CV<3,82±2,62%; SEM<0,33). En cuanto al RSA, la reproducibilidad tanto en la media de las repeticiones como del mejor intento fue alta (CCI>0,90; CV<3,85±3,59%; SEM<0,04). Con respecto al rMAT, la media y la mejor repetición mostraron también una reproducibilidad alta (CCI>0,94; CV<2,18±1,73%; SEM=0,27). Sin embargo, el índice de fatiga (Sdec) no mostró buenos valores de reproducibilidad ni en el RSA ni en el rMAT. Todos los test presentaron altos valores de reproducibilidad, por lo que podrían ser utilizados por los entrenadores y preparadores físicos como herramienta para evaluar la evolución de la capacidad física en jugadores de BSR.

Abstract

Despite the fact that the physical actions of wheelchair basketball (WB) players during games implies many change of direction, sprints and repeated change of directions, to date there is no scientific publication reporting the reproducibility of different tests to measure this abilities WB. Seventeen players (15 male and 2 female; 25.9±9.7 yrs.) belonging to a Spanish First Division WB team volunteered. During the first in-season WB competitive week (Test), players performed 5 standardized physical tests. Tests were the 3-3-6 Test, 505 Test, Illinois Test, Repeated Sprint Ability (RSA) test and the Repeated Modified Agility T-test (rMAT). One week later (re-Test) players re-performed the tests using identical timing- and test-protocols. Change of direction ability tests’ results showed high reproducibility values [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) >0.74; coefficient of variation (CV) <3.82±2.62%; standard error of the mean (SEM) <0.33]. RSA reproducibility results, both for the mean of the repetitions and for the best repetition, were also high (ICC>0.90; CV<3.85±3.59%; SEM<0.04). rMAT test results, both for the mean and the best repetition, indicated high reproducibility values as well (ICC>0.94; CV<2.18±1.73%; SEM=0.27). Results obtained for the fatigue index (Sdec) in the RSA and rMAT tests, however, indicated low reproducibility. Conclusively, all the analyzed tests showed high reproducibility values, with the exception of the Sdec index variable for the RSA and rMAT tests. All the tests showed high reproducibility values, and therefore, are adequate to be used to assess and monitor the physical aptitude of WB players.
