Abstract

Background: Paralympic powerlifting (PP) training is typically intense and causes fatigue and alterations in the immune system.

Objective: To analyze whether IBU would affect performance and the immune system after training in PP.

Methodology: 10 athletes at the national level (NL) and 10 at the regional level (RL) participated in the study, where force and blood indicators were evaluated after training. The study took place over three weeks: (1) familiarization and (2 and 3) comparison between recovery methods, with ibuprofen or pl
