Swimming is one of the inaugural sports within the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the key difference between the Olympic and Paralympic games being the classification system. The aim of this study was to investigate how effective the current classification system creates clearly differentiated Paralympic competition classes, based on performance time for all swimming strokes and events. Based on the performance characteristics of swimmers within the current classification system, the relationship between impairment and swimming performance is inconsistent, potentially disadvantaging some athletes. Appropriate sports medicine tests are required for the development of an evidence-based swimming classification system.
游泳是奥运会和残奥会的创始运动项目之一,奥运会和残奥会的关键区别在于分级系统。本研究的目的是调查当前的分级系统在根据所有泳姿和项目的成绩时间创建明显区分的残奥会比赛级别方面的效果如何。基于当前分级系统中游泳运动员的表现特征,损伤与游泳成绩之间的关系并不一致,这可能会使一些运动员处于不利地位。为了开发基于证据的游泳分级系统,需要进行适当的运动医学测试。
