Do training sessions improve mood state in wheelchair basketball athletes?
Training sessions can decrease negative mood dimensions, especially depression and anger, and maintain positive mood in wheelchair basketball athletes.
May support mood benefits of wheelchair basketball in athletes; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized trials before practice change.
The assessment of mood state can be used as a tool for monitoring the training adaptation. However, to athletes with a physical disability, this tool is still a few explored, especially in training daily conditions. The aim of the study was to analyze the mood state during training sessions in wheelchair basketball athletes. Twelve male athletes, aged between 23 and 62 years old, were evaluated. The subjects answered the POMS questionnaire before and after five training sessions during the preparatory period. Shapiro Wilk test for normality and Friedman were used for comparison amongst sessions, adopting p<0.05. It was found that the athletes presented a positive mood profile (iceberg) during the analyzed period. A negative mood reduction and positive mood maintenance were observed after all training sessions. Therefore, the results indicate that the training sessions can decrease the negative mood dimension, especially the depression and anger in wheelchair basketball athletes.

Oliveira et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Wheelchair basketball athletes (n=12). Wheelchair basketball training sessions vs. Pre-training baseline was evaluated on Mood state variation (POMS questionnaire) before and after training sessions. Wheelchair basketball training sessions decreased negative mood dimensions, with athletes showing up to a 68.8% reduction in depression and a 97% reduction in anger after training.
