Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the
effects of aerobic exercise and
strengthening on the cardiorespiratory endurance of Paralympic basketball players. The present study was
carried out within Kinshasa Martyrs Stadium in the club of Congolese
association of sports for handicapped and disabled) and in three towns of
Kinshasa. A total of 75 disabled persons  were randomly divided into two groups: the
first group (experimental) was composed of 35 Paralympic basketball players’ (beginners) with a
mean age of 32.03±9.06 years and a sitting height of 43.86 ± 6.75 cm (were
subjected to a three-wheel-strength wheelchair basketball and weight training
program sessions of two hours a week) and the second (control) of 40 disabled persons
who live in three towns of Kinshasa with a mean age of 33.2 ± 2.75 years and a
sitting height of 44.07 ± 3.5 cm .The paired student parametric test t allowed
us to verify the effects of physical activity on weight, waist circumference,
systolic blood pressure, blood pressure diastolic, resting heart rate, forced
expiratory volume and the maximum oxygen uptake after 6 months. The Paralympic basketball players’ have reduced significantly
their weight, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure
diastolic, resting heart rate, respiratory rate and blood glucose than control
group (p < .05). In addition they increased significantly their forced
expiratory volume and maximum oxygen uptake than control group (p < .05). The
regular practice of adapted physical activities allows people with physical
disabilities to improve their physiological profile.
