Abstract
this position, the congruency of the articular surfaces of the head of the humerus and the glenoid fossa is optimized4 as well as the length-tension relationship of the shoulder adductor and rotator cuff muscles.6-8 Performance of the test at 90° of abduction can produce impingement.7,8 Nimphius9 emphasized the need to assess power and strength, both of which relate to the capacity for wheelchair propulsion. The nature of the sport demands anaerobic power generation,10-12 which can be increased through training.13-16 The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of isokinetic exercise training of the internal and external rotators in two different positions to increase the anaerobic power of wheelchair basketball athletes. The specific research question was the following: Is isokinetic exercise training of the internal and external rotators in the scapular plane more effective than training in the frontal plane for improvement of strength and power?
