Adapted sailing is a Paralympic sport in which sailors with different types of disabilities can compete in the same event. According to 2.4mR Class, eligible impairments include limb deficiency and vision impairment. However, it is still unknown the variables that determine performance. Thus, the objectives of this study were: (i) to identify the variables that determine the sailing performance, (ii) to analyse the influence of the type of impairment on sailing performance, and (iii) analyse the influence of the wind force on sailing performance. Thirty-three elite sailors with disabilities participated and were divided into three groups according to the type of impairment: affectation of upper, lower, or upper and lower limbs. Participants were evaluated during three 2.4mR class World Cups and the following variables were assessed: velocity made good, distance and manoeuvres in upwind-downwind courses and type of impairment. Those sailors with better performance travelled a shorter distance during downwind sailing. The results showed that performance was not affected by which category the sailor was placed according to the type of impairment. The sailors with a lesser disability perform better when the wind is medium and high.
适应帆船是一项残奥会运动，不同类型残疾的水手可以在同一赛事中进行比赛。根据 2.4 米 R 级帆船，符合条件的残疾包括肢体残疾和视力障碍。然而，目前还不清楚决定表现的变量是什么。因此，本研究的目的是：（i）确定决定帆船表现的变量，（ii）分析残疾类型对帆船表现的影响，以及（iii）分析风力对帆船表现的影响。33 名残疾精英水手参加了比赛，并根据残疾类型分为三组：上肢、下肢或上下肢受损。参与者在三次 2.4 米 R 级帆船世界杯中进行了评估，并评估了以下变量：顺风行驶时的速度、距离和操纵、逆风行驶时的距离和操纵，以及残疾类型。表现更好的水手在顺风航行时行驶的距离更短。结果表明，根据残疾类型将水手归入哪个类别并不会影响表现。当风力为中等到高时，残疾程度较轻的水手表现更好。
