Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the intensity of effort during a wheelchair rugby match in two athletes with spinal cord injury and functional classification 1.0 and 2.5 from the team of ADEACAMP / UNICAMP - Campinas / SP. The variables for analysis were the quantification of the traveled distance; average speed and maximum speed collected in two wheelchair rugby games. Data were quantified by the manufacturer cycle computer model velo8 Cateye ®. The values obtained between athlete A and B were 4.8 Km / h and 3.0 Km / h for the mean velocity, 8.55 Km / h and 14.95 Km / h for maximum speed, 2.98 Km and 4.83 Km for the total traveled distance, respectively. Thus, it was observed that the results displayed a high volume and intensity of play by the athlete A with related to the athlete B. As well, it also presented a higher regularity between values analyzed in the two games. This type of analysis may enable coaches’ actual values during training, seeking individualized training for athletes from different functional classifications, escaping from the empiricism, which is displayed to be so present in several teams training.
