Table 4. Mean HR of one player over seven games in the amputee World Cup.

The work-rate profile of a player (see Table 4) indicates an average heart rate of 186 beats.min−1over seven games and a HRpeak value of 194 beats.min−1. This indicates the intensity that players perform at during a game. It is clear that in order for this particular player to develop and maintain fitness, the nature of the training or practice games must replicate and at times exceed this intensity.
