Sprint performance and propulsion asymmetries on an ergometer in trained high‐ and low‐point wheelchair rugby players

The purpose of this study was to examine the propulsion asymmetries of wheelchair athletes while sprinting on an instrumented, dual‐roller ergometer system. Eighteen experienced wheelchair rugby players (8 low point (LP) (class ≤1.5) and 10 high point (HP) (class ≥2.0)) performed a 15‐second sprint...
