Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the latest previous research on the subject of amputee soccer across multiple domains, and compiled various findings on quantitative evaluation methods in physical fitness tests to create physical measurement guidelines. The study examined the disability classes of field players in amputee soccer players, and obtained reference values for appropriate performance through various field tests and position-specific analyses of movement patterns and heart rate responses during competition by disability class and playing position, in order to prevent secondary disabilities in amputee soccer players and to build basic competitive performance. The amputee soccer training guidebook was developed to prevent secondary disabilities in amputee soccer players and to build basic competitive skills.
