Introduction: This study investigated the relationship between physical fitness, anthropometric characteristics, visual acuity of athletes with visual impairments, and their right shot performance. Method: The participants of the study involved 34 male athletes with different visual acuities who participated in the 2015 Visually Impaired Schools Goalball Championship in Alanya, Turkey. The means of the participants’ age, body weight, height, and sport age were 14.95 ± 1.28 years, 52.06 ± 8.89 kilograms, 163.58 ± 10.39 centimeters, 02.39 ± 1.50 years, respectively. The participants’ physical fitness, body fat percentage, handgrip (right–left), and spine flexibility were measured. Upper and lower extremity lengths were obtained through anthropometric measurements, and the athletes’ right shot performance was calculated. To analyze the data, the Shapiro–Wilk test was used, and one-way analysis of variance and independent sample t-test were performed, because the data showed a normal distribution (p = .106). In addition, multivariate regression model analysis was utilized to investigate the relationship between all parameters and the athletes’ right shot performance. Results: A significant difference was found among the groups’ right shot performance (p = .03), specifically on behalf of the athletes with low vision. When the participants’ anthropometric features, physical fitness values, and their right shot performance were examined, a positive relationship was observed between their dominant (right) handgrip strength and right shot performance (stepwise method; p = .03, R2 = 0.14). However, no significant difference emerged between their anthropometric characteristics and right shot performance. Discussion: It is considered that visual acuity and upper extremity muscle strength are of vital importance in goalball. Implications for practitioners: Whereas the International Blind Sports Federation applies rules according to visual acuity to offer equal conditions for some areas of sport, in goalball such a rule does not exist. It is important to make a change in the regulations for competition groupings according to visual acuities in goalball like in other sports for individuals with visual impairments. More frequent workout oriented to upper extremity muscle strength during right shot performance is suggested in the training sessions.

门球运动员的身体素质、人体测量学特征和视力与其右击表现的比较

介绍：本研究调查了有视力障碍的运动员的身体素质、人体测量学特征、视力与其正确击球表现之间的关系。方法：该研究的参与者包括 34 名不同视力的男性运动员，他们参加了 2015 年在土耳其阿拉尼亚举行的视障学校门球锦标赛。参与者的年龄、体重、身高和运动年龄的平均值分别为14.95±1.28岁、52.06±8.89公斤、163.58±10.39厘米、02.39±1.50岁。测量参与者的身体素质、体脂百分比、手柄（右-左）和脊柱柔韧性。通过人体测量获得上肢和下肢长度，并计算出运动员的右击表现。为了分析数据，使用了 Shapiro-Wilk 检验，并进行了方差分析和独立样本 t 检验，因为数据显示为正态分布 (p = .106)。此外，还利用多元回归模型分析来研究所有参数与运动员正确击球表现之间的关系。结果：发现各组的右击表现存在显着差异 (p = .03)，特别是低视力运动员。当检查参与者的人体测量特征、身体健康值和他们的右击表现时，观察到他们的主导（右）握力和右击表现之间存在正相关关系（逐步方法；p = .03，R2 = 0.14）。然而，他们的人体测量特征和右击表现之间没有显着差异。讨论：人们认为视力和上肢肌肉力量对球门球至关重要。对从业者的影响：虽然国际盲人运动联合会根据视力为某些运动领域提供平等的条件而适用规则，但在门球中并不存在这样的规则。像其他运动项目一样，对于视障人士来说，根据门球的视力对比赛分组的规定进行更改是很重要的。在训练课程中建议在正确的击球表现中更频繁地针对上肢肌肉力量进行锻炼。人们认为视力和上肢肌肉力量在球门球中至关重要。对从业者的影响：虽然国际盲人运动联合会根据视力为某些运动领域提供平等的条件而适用规则，但在门球中并不存在这样的规则。像其他运动项目一样，对于视障人士来说，根据门球的视力对比赛分组的规定进行更改是很重要的。在训练课程中建议在正确的击球表现中更频繁地针对上肢肌肉力量进行锻炼。人们认为视力和上肢肌肉力量在球门球中至关重要。对从业者的影响：虽然国际盲人运动联合会根据视力为某些运动领域提供平等的条件而适用规则，但在门球中并不存在这样的规则。像其他运动项目一样，对于视障人士来说，根据门球的视力对比赛分组的规定进行更改是很重要的。在训练课程中建议在正确的击球表现中更频繁地针对上肢肌肉力量进行锻炼。在门球中，这样的规则是不存在的。像其他运动项目一样，对于视障人士来说，根据门球的视力对比赛分组的规定进行更改是很重要的。在训练课程中建议在正确的击球表现中更频繁地针对上肢肌肉力量进行锻炼。在门球中，这样的规则是不存在的。像其他运动项目一样，对于视障人士来说，根据门球的视力对比赛分组的规定进行更改是很重要的。在训练课程中建议在正确的击球表现中更频繁地针对上肢肌肉力量进行锻炼。
