Para Powerlifting Performance: A Systematic Review
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2152-7426This research aimed to conduct a systematic review of para powerlifting strength
performance. The searches were conducted in three electronic databases: PubMed,
Scopus, and SPORTDiscus. Intervention studies related to para powerlifting
performance were included. The main information was extracted systematically,
based on criteria established by the authors. The data on study design, sample
size, participant’s characteristics (e. g. type of disability,
sex, age, body weight, and height), training experience, assessment tools,
physical performance criteria, and force-related outcomes were extracted and
analyzed. The studies (n=9) describe factors related to biomechanics and
performance. Outcomes revealed that the one-repetition maximum test is used as
load prescription and that para powerlifting should work at high speeds and
higher loads. Regarding technique, grip width with 1.5 biacromial distance
provides a good lift and partial amplitude training as an alternative to
training. There are no differences in total load and movement quality in the
lumbar arched technique compared with the flat technique. As a monitoring
method, repetitions in reserve scale was used for submaximal loads. Finally, our
outcomes and discussion indicated strategies and techniques that can be used by...
