To analyse the variations in the stroke kinematics of an elite wheelchair sprinter in the 100m event over a Paralympic cycle and,
modelling the optimal stroke rate-stroke length (SR-SL) combination to break the personal best (PB) and the European Record (ER).
Methodology: A T52 wheelchair sprinter that is European multi-medallist, finalist at World Championships and Paralympic Games was monitor in
the Paralympic cycle 2013-2016. The 100m events raced were recorded by a panning camera set-up on the stands.
Results: It was noted the narrowest 95CI at the 38.5m mark. The SR and SL 95% confidence interval (95CI) became wider from this mark
onwards. Conversely, the 95CI of the velocity is prone to become narrow from the 38.5m mark onwards.
Conclusion: The best SR-SL combination was a mean 135.50c/min-2.53m to break the PB, and 137.88c/min-2.57m the ER.
