This short review explores the state of talent identification and development of athletes in Paralympic contexts. While talent identification typically occurs during adolescence, this practice is more complex and variable in Paralympic contexts compared to non-Paralympic contexts. For example, Paralympic athletes can have impairments that are congenital or acquired at any time across their lives. Therefore, they can enter performance pathways at unpredictable times. Furthermore, differences and nuances associated with athlete impairments (type and severity), compounded by other systematic complexities (e.g., systems of classification) highlight the need to consider alternative and creative approaches to talent identification and development. We provide an overview of some of these complexities, highlight areas for future research, and provide recommendations for practitioners.
这篇简短的综述探讨了残奥会背景下运动员人才识别与发展的状况。虽然人才识别通常发生在青少年时期，但与非残奥会背景相比，这种做法在残奥会背景下更为复杂且多变。例如，残奥会运动员可能有先天性的损伤，也可能在其一生中的任何时候获得损伤。因此，他们可能在不可预测的时间进入竞技之路。此外，与运动员损伤相关的差异和细微差别（类型和严重程度），再加上其他系统复杂性（如分级系统），凸显了需要考虑采用替代和创新方法来进行人才识别与发展。我们概述了其中一些复杂性，突出了未来研究的领域，并为从业者提供了建议。
