Abstract

Objective: To determine through of a systematic review the key components related to physiological and physical performance in athletes wheelchair rugby. Method: For the search, we used the descriptors "Wheelchair" and "Rugby" isolated and / or combined. We analyzed the studies originally published in English between January 2004 to December 2012, in databases PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. Results: Initially, 105 studies were identified. After excluding duplicates, reading the titles and abstracts, 17 articles were included and analyzed. The main component of the physical performance of athletes wheelchair rugby were related to be aerobic power (VO2 max.) And indicators of volume and intensity were:rating of perceived exertion, distance covered, total, heart rate and lactate concentration. Conclusion: Athletes and coaches rugby in wheelchairs must included training involving aerobic capacity, change of the direction, speed and muscle strengthening.
