Abstract

The most well-known and practiced adapted sport today, among others, is Athletics, however it is not dealt with in great depth, since there is hardly any literature with information that goes deeper into these issues, despite the fact that in the last ten years the research, especially in wheelchair racing. There is also no particular program for the preparation of wheelchair athletes, so coaches improvise their preparation, making adjustments to the comprehensive programs for the preparation of conventional athletes. The Impulsion of the Bullet in a wheelchair does not escape this reality, a discipline that does not have theoretical and methodological routes for its teaching, so this research had the objective of developing a procedure for teaching the technique of the Impulsion of the wheelchair. bullet in a wheelchair for athletes with disabilities. For this, methods of the theoretical level and the empirical level were used, such as: the survey, the interview, the criteria of users and group techniques, as well as the statistical methods and/or mathematical processing, and steps were determined to arrive at the proposal. As a result, a proposal considered by users as viable, useful, relevant, affordable and accessible to athletes was achieved.
