Participants will
* pull in their sport wheelchair against a force transducer * push in their sport wheelchair from a force transducer * accelerate as fast as possible with one push * accelerate as fast as possible over a distance of 20m
Researchers will compare the wheelchair basketball against wheelchair rugby players to see if there is a difference in the parameters.
