Pedagogy of sports: most frequent test in the literature for the assessment of physical qualities in elite-level paralympic wheelchair basketball, a systematic review

Abstract

The objective was to identify the most recurrent tests in the literature, used for the evaluation of physical qualities in the BSR elite level. For this, a Systematic Review was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and ScienceDirect, combining the following keywords Athletes and "Wheelchair basketball" and Test and Performance. The search strategy carried out yielded a total of 270 results where, after eliminating duplicates and applying the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 39 documents were included for detailed review of qualitative synthesis. The most used tests according to the collected literature, indicate in the first place the 20m Sprint, followed by the 5m Sprint and dynamometer, which indicates that the most evaluated physical qualities are; speed, strength, agility and anaerobic power. According to the aforementioned, it is concluded that the tests used are tools of easy access, for the most part, since large-scale sports implements are not necessary (excluding the Wingate test, which requires a crank ergometer) and they are also pertinent. and valid for the evaluation of physical qualities in elite level BSR athletes.
