다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objective of this study is to propose the basic data for the training program to improve or maintain performance by revealing the relationship between the strength and game performance of the handicapped members of the national team. This research studied 14 shooting athletes (10 males and 4 females) who participated in 2010 Guangzhou Asian Para Games and joined Inchon Athletic Training Complex for the Handicapped. SPSS 18.0 was used to conduct Mann-Whitney U test to know the distributional difference between two groups and correlation analysis to gain Spearman’s rho values for the relationship between performance and strength. For the data to be analyzed, data were collected: performance, body composition (fat thickness), muscular strength, muscular endurance, quickness, flexibility, cardiovascular work-out and agility of the athletes who participated in 2010 Guangzhou Asian Para Games. The results of the study are as follows; first, the difference test on strength by item showed significant difference in triceps (Z=-2.828, p<.005), scapula (Z=-2.835, p<.005), grasping power (Z=-2.785, p<.005), quickness (Z=-2.331, p<.01), cardiovascular workout (Z=-2.579, p<.05). Second, the difference test on the strength by item in their specialties (games) showed statistically significant difference only in triceps (Z=-2.582, p<.005), scapula (Z=-2.264, p<.005) and suprailiac (Z=-2.264, p<.01). Third, the correlation analysis of performance and strength showed that there were no variables of strength having statistically significant correlation with performance (ranking in the game) in the rifle game. As for revolver game, however, it turned out that subcutaneous fatty tissue (rho=.845, p<.05) had a statistically significant correlation with the ranking. This study found out that the strength of the handicapped members of the national rifle team was different by sex and, though not significant, by type of game. Therefore, training programs should be developed by sex and type of game more specifically.
