Abstract

The majority of research on the coach-athlete relationship has been explored from the perspective of able-bodied athletes. The purpose of this study was to explore wheelchair basketball athletes' perceptions of the coach-athlete relationship. Timelining and semistructured interviews were conducted with six wheelchair basketball athletes, and data were analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis. Athletes highlighted the important role that parasport coaches played in fostering an enjoyable wheelchair basketball environment and valued coaches who displayed expertise regarding their athletes' equipment and had personal parasport athletic experiences. Additionally, athletes identified personal preferences, including coaches who addressed sex differences and maintained professional relationships at the national level as contributing factors to the coach-athlete relationship. The current results benefit both parasport coaches and athletes by providing a portrayal of coaching behaviors, characteristics, and expertise that not only influence the parasport coach-athlete dyad but also affect the well-being and athletic development of parasport athletes.

轮椅篮球运动员对教练员与运动员关系的认知。

大多数关于教练员与运动员关系的研究都是从健全运动员的角度来探讨的。摘要本研究旨在探讨轮椅篮球运动员对教练员与运动员关系的认知。对6名轮椅篮球运动员进行了时间安排访谈和半结构化访谈，并采用自反性主题分析对数据进行了分析。运动员们强调了体育教练在培养愉快的轮椅篮球环境中所起的重要作用，并重视那些对运动员的装备表现出专业知识并具有个人体育经验的教练。此外，运动员认为个人偏好，包括教练解决性别差异和维持国家层面的专业关系，是促成教练与运动员关系的因素。目前的研究结果对体育教练和运动员都有好处，因为它提供了教练行为、特征和专业知识的写照，这些行为、特征和专业知识不仅会影响体育教练和运动员的关系，还会影响体育运动员的健康和运动发展。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
