輪椅籃球運動介紹及選手核心肌群訓練

Introduction to wheelchair basketball and core strength training

輪椅籃球選手與一般籃球選手相同，除了高強度的對抗，更要能在間歇狀態下執行多項技巧性動作，且因選手的肢體創傷大都為小兒麻痺或脊椎損傷引起，核心肌群力量相對較小，使得輪椅籃球選手在高強度的競賽下更顯艱難。為精進籃球運動的多面向技術，首要目標即為加強核心肌群。文中提出多項輪椅上核心訓練方式，藉由藥球、彈力帶等器材配合屈腹、轉體及挺身等動作對腰腹周遭進行訓練，加強該部位肌群後所帶來的正面效應，將可直接提升運動表現。為推廣輪椅籃球運動，本文將介紹輪椅籃球的起源及規則，讓大眾也能對此運動有所了解，進而投入並支持以蓬勃輪椅籃球運動之發展。

Wheelchair basketball players and regular players are similar in that they both need to engage in high-intensity competition and perform multiple skills in intervals. However, the former have weaker core muscles due to polio or spinal cord injuries, making it more difficult for them to engage in high-intensity games. In order to advance various skills associated with basketball, it is imperative to strengthen core muscles. Core training includes using medicine ball, bouncing ball and elastic band to cooperate with partner in half twist, thera-band crunch and thera-band hyperextension. Consequently, core training will be directly conducive to athletic performance. With the aim to promoting wheelchair basketball, this paper will introduce the origin and rules of the sport and propose several core training exercises on the wheelchair. This will not only raise public awareness but also benefit and support the development of wheelchair basketball.
