Análise do padrão biomecânico do arremesso de lance livre feito por atletas do basquetebol em cadeira de rodas: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The present article is a literature review that will emphasize the biomechanical evaluation of Paralympic athletes with the purpose of identifying the biomechanical pattern of the throw made by wheelchair basketball athletes seeking to relate this pattern of movement with the functional classification adopted by the System of the INTERNATIONAL WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL FEDERATION. For that, we analyzed the studies that investigated the kinematic pattern of free throw in athletes and the data correlated with the different functional classifications. From the analysis of the literature it was possible to verify that there is a difference in the movement pattern between the functional classes in order to achieve a better shooting. The shooting mechanics can be altered due to factors like the height of the game wheelchair, the size of the wheels, the size of the player and others. Therefore it is suggested that players of different functional classes, according to their individualities, use different strategies to reach the ball in the basket, however, it is still not possible to infer what would be the specific movement pattern for each player or which would be the kinematic pattern of the free-throw pitch in each functional class.
