Resumo:
The aim of the present study was to investigate if the aerobic performance of wheelchair basketball athletes is related to their positioning on the court. Thus, twenty-five athletes underwent an assessment of aerobic physical performance, carried out through the 12-minute test for wheelchair users. It was identified that shooting guards and power forwards obtained the highest values of maximum VO2, which were significantly higher than the values of point guards and small forwards. Thus, it is concluded that athletes positioned as shooting guards and power forwards have better aerobic performance, requiring better physical preparation for these functions.
