| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Nutritional status (energy intake, macronutrients, micronutrients, anthropometric indices, appetite). Timepoint: Beginning and end of the study. Method of measurement: Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, BMI calculation, determination of arm circumference and thickness of skinfold fat of the triceps muscle area using calipers will be performed by the researcher at the beginning and end of the study. Considering the severe physical and motor disability of the athletes, weighing with and without a wheelchair on a scale with an accuracy of 0.1 kg will be used to determine weight. A tape measure with an accuracy of 0.1 cm will be used to measure height and alternative methods of determining height such as ulna or determining the length of the lower leg. Initially, the study participants will use a 5-item questionnaire based on a Likert scale (answers 0 to 10) to determine appetite, the validity and reliability of which have been previously determined, and a 3-day food record will be performed to determine calorie and nutrient intake.;Athletic performance (throwing distance, muscle strength). Timepoint: Beginning and end of the study. Method of measurement: At the beginning and end of the study, after the eligible individuals have been selected and grouped, the researcher and the assistant coach in charge measure the participants' throwing distance and the individuals' muscular strength using a hand grip device, and the results before and after are compared and evaluated based on existing standards.;On some biochemical parameters (serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, serum zinc, growth hormone, IGF1 and testosterone). Timepoint: Beginning and end of the study. Method of measurement: At the beginning and end of the study, a 5cc blood sample will be taken the morning after the training session, following a 10 to 12 hour fast, to determine serum levels of some biochemical indicators, including serum levels of creatine kinase, growth horm | — |
