How to design a wheelchair basketball?

The most crucial characteristics in wheelchair basketball are maneuverability and rapid accelerations from a standing start.

Maximum emphasis is placed on the following characteristics when creating the basketball wheelchair:

  • weight reduction of the frame while boosting strength;
  • creation of a tool that will allow anthropometric measurements to be included into a wheelchair design specifically for the user's comfort and performance;
  • creation of high-end wheels will improve propulsion effectiveness by lowering rolling resistance.

Some essential abilities for basketball are;

Dribbling, Shooting, Defense, Rebounding, Passing.

While some of the essential physical qualities include;

Speed,  Swiftness, Core toughness, Ability to leap 

Now, if we are going to build a wheelchair, we must take into account the qualities and abilities listed above.

As a result, the wheelchair would need to be less substantial because if it is too substantial, it will be difficult for the person to control it, which will also impact his speed and agility, or his ability to slide laterally or glide away from an opponent.

In order to make the wheelchair easier to manage and avoid slowing down the user's speed and agility, I would lessen the weight of the chair.
