Persons with spinal cord injuries physical capacity evaluation using ergometer

Aim of research- physical capacity evaluation in people with spinal cord injuries using the arm ergometer. Research methods: 1. Dynamometry. Absolute muscle strength measurement medical wrenches to help determine the physical strength and to assess the person's physical development. 2. Consistent increase in the load test. Constantly increasing continuous physical loads have been applied to all persons with spinal cord injuries by using the arm ergometer “Monark”. The wheel frequency was 60 times / min (rotations). 3. The heart rate measurement. The study of heart rate (HR) is registered and recorded in the memory of the pulse meter Polar ACCUREX-Plus. Research results: Hand strength wheelchair basketball athletes is higher than athletes in gym. The testing work average power was also higher for the sport wheelchair basketball athletes in the gym. Conclusions. 1. Wheelchair basketball players physical capacity is better than athletes in sport gym group, but less than the control group. 2. Athletes in gym characterized by an average hand force. Constantly increasing continuous physical arm ergometer working capacity was slightly lower than the wheelchair basketball players of the results. 3.Compared wheelchair basketball athletes and atlethes in gym exercise capacity results indicate that wheelchair basketball athletes physical fitness is higher than the athletes in the gym, but worse than the control group
