P 035 - Kinematic Factors Generated Forward Propulsion in Wheelchair Marathon

Wheelchair marathon is one of the famous events of Paralympic. Additionally, wheelchair marathon is a type of sport that needs many skills and techniques because of their impairment or physical function. Some physiological factors might influence actual race time, such as cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and motivational level. However, there are few reports regarding the relationship between kinematic factors generated forward propulsion and race time. Therefore, purpose of this study was to investigate kinematic factors generated forward propulsion of wheelchair marathon.
