Key result
Simulated wheelchair race time in trained male quadriplegics was inversely related to peak VO2, cardiac output, and stroke volume (p<0.05), suggesting central factors limit performance.

Simulated wheelchair racing performance in trained male quadriplegics appears to be limited by central factors determining VO2 rather than peripheral factors.
Bhambhani et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Quadriplegia (n=8). 7.5-km simulated wheelchair race was evaluated on Simulated wheelchair race (SR) time (p=<0.05). Simulated wheelchair race time in trained male quadriplegics was inversely related to peak VO2, cardiac output, and stroke volume (p<0.05), suggesting central factors limit performance.
