其他摘要：The aim of the present study was to identify performance variability in basketball for players with intellectual impairment(II) and to compare it with able-bodied (AB) players. Official game statistics from the 13 games played in the Ankara World II-BasketballChampionships (2013) were gathered and descriptive data, variability coefficient (VC), maximum scores and its Z-score were calculatedfrom those players who participated at least 10 minutes per game (N = 46; guards = 10, forwards = 21, centers = 15). Results indicatedhigher performance variability and lower efficiency in shooting percentages and turnovers in II-players comparing with studies in ABplayers.Differences found between game positions indicated similar roles of guards, forwards and centers in II and AB-players. Thesefindings are relevant to understand how II impact on basketball performance, which is a necessary step to develop specific eligibilitysystems in II-basketball according to the guidelines of the International Paralympic Committee.
