Synopsis

Our research provides comprehensive information about wheelchair basketball sport and athletes. In our research, information about the historical development and importance of sports for people with disabilities is given, and topics such as game rules, scoring, dribbling and fouls of wheelchair basketball are discussed. In addition, it is emphasized that athletes should have a certain level of physical fitness and technical skills and the tests commonly used in this direction are examined. The tests used to measure skills such as passing, speed, agility, dribbling and shooting and how to apply these tests are explained. It is thought that our research is important in terms of establishing a norm related to physical and technical performance characteristics by coaches related to this branch and developing training strategies in line with this norm.
