Summary
This study aims to investigate the effect of myofascial release on sprint performance in wheelchair rugby athletes with spinal cord injury. Participants will complete a 20-meter sprint test on two different days in a randomized crossover design: one day without myofascial release and one day immediately after the intervention. The myofascial release will be applied to the upper limb muscles involved in wheelchair propulsion using a handheld device for 90 seconds per muscle group. Sprint performance will be measured by the time required to complete the 20-meter distance. The study will compare performance between conditions to determine whether myofascial release improves speed.
