Diferencias en estadísticas de juego en baloncesto en silla de ruedas

The study aims to analyze game performance based on player statistics in wheelchair basketball according to sex, functional class, and bonus status. Wheelchair basketball is characterized by high tactical complexity and functional diversity. However, there is limited evidence on how these variables jointly influence performance. This study analyzed data from three national leagues (N = 365 players) over a full competitive season. Descriptive analyses, t-tests, Welch’s ANOVA, and multiple linear regression were applied. Male players showed higher values than female players in most performance statistics (p < .05), and the regression model explained 90.9% of the variance in player efficiency rating (VAL; R² = .909; p < .001). Performance in wheelchair basketball depends on the interaction between functional, tactical, and contextual factors rather than on functional ability alone. The current bonus system shows limited competitive impact, suggesting the need for structural revision.
