Within the last decade, Para sport has experienced increased growth, global popularity, and scientific research. Likewise, there is increasing application of systems ergonomics methods to optimise sports performance. Despite this, few studies have attempted to analyse Para sport as a complex system. The aim of this study was to apply a systems ergonomics framework to redesign a current Para sport system via a multi staged approach. The Cognitive Work Analysis framework was used to model and redesign the Para sport system, via the insertion of design interventions. The findings offer insights into the complexity of the Para sport system via the multiple interacting factors that influence the performance of the system. In addition, the design interventions had substantial influence on the Para sport system by creating multiple new processes, functions, measures, and purposes, and enhanced multiple components of the existing system. This study provides a unique contribution to ergonomic science and extends system ergonomics theory and methods in sport. This study has practical implications for policy development by providing a template that can be used by others wanting to optimise able-bodied sport, Para sport, and non-sport systems.
在过去的十年中，残奥运动经历了快速发展、全球普及和科学研究的推动。同样地，系统工效学方法在优化运动表现方面的应用也越来越广泛。尽管如此，很少有研究试图将残奥运动分析为一个复杂的系统。本研究旨在通过多阶段方法，应用系统工效学框架对当前的残奥运动系统进行重新设计。通过插入设计干预措施，使用认知工作分析框架对残奥运动系统进行建模和重新设计。研究结果通过影响系统性能的多个相互作用的因素，深入了解残奥运动系统的复杂性。此外，设计干预措施通过创建多个新的过程、功能、措施和目的，并增强现有系统的多个组件，对残奥运动系统产生了重大影响。本研究为工效学科学做出了独特的贡献，并扩展了运动中的系统工效学理论和方法。本研究对政策制定具有实际意义，为其他希望优化健全人运动、残奥运动和非运动系统的人提供了一个可借鉴的模板。
