Abstract

[Purpose] This study clarified differences in players’ contributions to the team’s score in female wheelchair basketball at the 2016 Rio Paralympics by physical capacity classification, and examined the roles required in the team. [Subjects and Methods] This study used stats (record of play contents) for players who played for more than 20 minutes from the official box scores of all 31 games at the 2016 Paralympics. Players were divided into three groups by physical capacity classification: low, middle, and high. The average stats for each group were compared and the covariance structure was analyzed to determine the role of each group during the game. [Results] Comparisons showed that the higher the class, the higher the value of many stats items. Important elements were defensive rebound, steal, and turnover in the low group; and score, offensive rebound, and turnover in the high group. [Conclusion] Players in the high group have more plays related to the ball. Those in the low group should increase the numbers of steals and defensive rebounds and reduce turnover. High group players are required to have scoring ability, acquire offensive rebound, and reduce turnover.
