# Analysis of the External and Internal Load in Wheelchair Basketball Considering the Game Situation
## 4 Discussion  
The main purpose of this study was to analyse the EL and IL of WB players in different contexts (training and matches), as well as to analyse whether the FC influences the sport performance and if there are differences between the FC. The results reported significant differences between the contexts according to the analysed variables. The number of Dcc/min was the variable with the highest ES, which means that there are higher differences between the context than the other variables. On the other hand, the % of maximum HR was the only variable that did not present significant differences between the \begin{table}

Likewise, the IL variables were higher in matches than in training sessions. According to the neuromuscular EL variables, it was observed that the values were higher in matches compared to training sessions. Analysing training sessions and matches is very important for the coaching staff in order to understand the physical demands during those contexts and adapt the training sessions to the competitive demands, which is the most demanding scenario in sports and parasitors [41]. Considering the FC separately, the player with higher punctuation (FC 4.0) obtained higher values in the majority of the variables, a fact that we attribute to the fact that it was the players with the largest trunk range of movements and functional capacity. These results are related to the sitting height because the player with a higher height obtains better performance in field tests [26]. Thus, the coaching staff must develop tasks to improve speed, mobility, agility, and strength, as well as tactical and technical skills to improve players' performance in matches.
