#8 Classification in Paralympic Sports

welcome to the inner mind of sport with em sta the mission with this podcast shows is that I can help you throughout the day if you're in sport strength training or outside sport like walking running or cycling outside my main mission is that this podcast shows can help you throughout your day that you are happy and have a positive mind but not that you are sad and think you are a loser or nobody or do nothing that's not true everyone is different also the mission with this shows is that I can get to you and you can get to me so Hereafter we are going to have a lots of fun and enjoy the show together with the show that is coming on now hopefully you will enjoy the show and have fun listen to it like I will so let's get into the show and I will see you [Music] after here are are the sport that tells us which disability classes each person is in these are summer sport if talking about swimming then here is the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes classes S1 to S10 sp1 to sp9 sm1 to SN 10 physical impairments there are 10 different sport classes for athletes with physical impairment numbers one to 10 athletes with different impairments competed against each other because sport classes are Al allocated based on the impact that impairment has on swimming rather than on the impairment itself to EV EV uh evalu the impact of impairments on swimming classifiers assess all functional body structures using a point system and ask the athlete to comp complete a water assignment assignment the total number of points then determines the athletes s and sp sp sport classes due to the difference Demand on S and S SP events swimmer are often allocated different allocated different s and SB sport classes the SM sport class is calculated from the S and S SP Sport class um sport class uh s 1 sp1 SM sm1 physical impairment S1 is for swimmers that with highly affected coordin o coordination on Co coori on uh of the Torso arms and legs sp1 is for breast stroke swimmers with high affect coordination cordination c c coordination of the tors torso arms and legs sm1 is for medly swimmers with highly affected coordination of the Torso arm and arms and legs sport classes S2 SP2 and sm2 physical impairments S2 is for swimmers with sever severly reduced coordination in the body uh legs and hands and who have low low arm strength these shimmers shim through the water using power generated mainly by by using the forearms and shoulders s SP2 is for press Strokes with seever severly impairment coordination in the body legs and hands and a slight impairments of the arm or for those with a similar impairments but have a moderate with but with a moderate moderate impairment of the arm this shmmer swim through the water using power generated mainly by using the forearms and shoulders sm2 is for medling swimmers with sever severly reduced torso legs and hand coordination and low arm strength these swimmers swim through the water using power generated mainly by using their forearms and shoulders sport classes S3 sp3 and sm3 physical impairments they need to have a an assistant with them to help them get in and out of the pool they start they start in the pool and need help with the start it's because an assistant need to be able to hold their hands at the start they can also start lying on the back and then and then an assistant holds their feet against the touch pad sensor S3 is for Shimmers with coordination affected to the low degree in the upper torso and arms with the rest of the Torso and legs highly affected and those with a low overall impairment plus the ab absence of Limbs these swimmers maintain a good body position solidly using their arms and upper body sp3 is for breast stroke is for breast stroke swimmers with coordination affected to the low degree in their upper torso and arm with the rest of the Torso and legs highly affected and those with the absence of Limbs these swimmers maintain a good body position Sly solidly using their arms and upper body most with breast stroke affect alternately to keep their hand head Loa and bring their hips closer to the surf to the surface swimmers must show intent to move s SYM symetrically C symetrically even if their arms and legs are not are not of even length as M3 threee is for medling swimmers with coordination affected to the low degree in the upper torso and arms with the rest of the Torso and legs highly affected and those with absence of Limbs these simmers maintain a good body positions so solid solidly using their arms and upper body sport class as for sp4 and sm4 physical impairment S4 is for swimmers with high body and leg movements which also affect the hands or where limbs are absent these shimmers generate the majorly major majority of their power from their shoulders as before is for breast stroke swimmers with moderately impaired coordination in their hold body or a large amount in the Torso and legs these swimmers have difficultly maintaining a good post postery posture po posture or swimming at and maintaining balance while swimming through the water sm4 is for medlink swimmers with severly reduced redu it the body and leg Mobility it also affect the hands and or where limbs are absent these swimmers generate the the majority of the power from the shoulders they use an alter breathing pet pattering P pattern pattern to maintain the body position high in the water and turn mostly with their arms with little or no kick from the wall Con coming from their legs sport classes S5 sp5 and sm5 physical impairment S5 is for Shimmers with motivated impaired coordination midbody and leg movements or where limbs are absent these swimmers have difficultly holding a good but position or swimming straight through the water sp5 is for breast Strokers with high mobility in the lower body and legs those with DWF fist or those with no limbs these swimmers find it difficult to maintain a cons consistent swimming speed because of the way power is designed to exchange arm power and leg power in their breath Strokes sm5 is from medly swimmers with moderately impaired coordination mid body and leg movements or absent limbs these swimmers have difficultly holding a good body position or swimming straight through the water Cort policy or CP S5 sp4 S sp5 sm5 sport classes S6 sb5 sm6 cable policy or CP CP and DF V they can start in the pool if they intend to dive into the pool from standing position the assistant can support them on their starting platform or hold them with hold with them during the starting they should have a assist an assistant with them to help them get in and out of the pool in press stroke they swim with their hands and the feets can make a small wave flying feet sport classes S6 sp6 and sm6 physical impairment the S6 is for Shimmers with moderately impair impaired coordination on one sides which has a strong impact on the lower body and legs those with dwarf wi or those without a limbs these swimmers have difficultly holding good body positions or Swim straight straight through the water SP six is for breast Strokers with moderately impaired coordination on one side which has a strong impact on the lower body and legs um those with dwarf Vis or those Without Limbs these swimmers have a last power and strong balance in their hands tws have better balance but are greatly affected to the Great in extent with their ability to transmit power into the water to of due to the length of their limbs and greater resid reiz stains all have difficulty maintaining a good body position sm6 is for medling swims with moderately impaired coordination on one side have very SE sever sever sever lower body and legs impairments those with dwarf fins or missing limbs these shimmers have difficultly holding a good body position or swimming straight through their water sport classes S7 sp7 and sm7 physical impairment S7 is for swimmers with low to moderate arms torso and leg Mobility with impairments on one side of the body those with Ds DS and those with no limbs all of these swimmers need to work hard on the on timing their strokes and achieving good Strokes in the water sp7 is for breast Strokers with low to moderate strength in arms torso and with impairments on one side of the body those with dfis and or those with no limbs all of these swimmers need to work hard on timing their Strokes or achieving good Strokes in their water SM 7 is for swimmers with movement that affects love to moderate strength in the arms body and legs moderated impairments down one side of the Torso those with drins or those Without Limbs this all of these swimmers need to work hard on timing The Strokes and achieving good Strokes in the water sport classes S8 SP sp8 sm8 physical impairment S8 is for swimmers with low core alteration moderate leg movement using one arm or with out lims swimmers in this class have almost full Capa capacity capacity but lack of allr muscle power sp8 is for press Strokers with low core or ation using only one leg or only use uh one arm or the part partial partial absence of one limb partal abset of one arm uh sm8 is for medling swimmers with core oration affected to a low level movement motivate ly affected in one in the legs use only one arm or the absent of Limbs swimmer in this class have almost full capacity but lack all around muscle power sport classes S9 sp9 sm9 physical impairment S9 is for simers with impaired impaired arm and leg core alteration High degree of weakness in one leg or the absent of Limbs these shimmers have difficulty applying to applying their power event in the water especially at high speed sp9 is for breast stroke swimmers with imper core alteration of low strength in the legs mly M mly morly moderately imper movements in the hips joint or legs very se s SE very s very impairment in one leg or no not with a limb this swimmers can also maintain a good body position they have a correct uh minor instability uh within their stroke P pattern pattern PN PN P pattern but their start and turns are almost unaffected sm9 is for metlink swimmers with impaired Co coordination in their arms and legs severly impairment in one leg or absent of Limbs these swimmers have difficulty applying their power event in the water especially at high speed sport classes S10 SP sp10 SM sm10 physical impairment S10 is for swimmers with movement effect at a low level in the legs Mo modly in the hip joint or feet to a high degree in one foot or minor limbs absent these swimmers have to correct minor instability within the stroke pattern pattern pattern sm1 is is for medling swimmers with movement effect at a low level in the legs modly in the hip strength or feet to a high degree in one foot or minor lmbs absense these swimmers have to correct minor instability within their stroke path path PA path sport classes S1 sp sp 11 sm11 Vision impairment S11 sp1 sm11 is for swimmers with near total visual impairment everyone swims with black swimming goggles which are suitable for Blind and Visually Impaired swimmers head tappers and stroke counting are used to perform the turns accurately accur ratle sport classes S1 sp11 sm11 visual impairment athletes with a vision impairment competed in three sport classes from s SP 11 to ss13 SP 11 this athletes have a very low visual accurity accurity and or no light P percent lights percent these are no expect EXA to swimming rules the same rules as World Aquatics but the they need to have two tappers to tap at each turn and at the end of this RM note that you can now hit twice two times uh that is for the person does not hit at the first time there is also a exception if a swimmer kicks into the wrong lane sport classes S12 sp12 sm12 Vision impairment S12 s sp12 SM sm12 is for visually impaired swimmers they have a restricted field to view and can and some cannot see the black line on the bottom of the pool they can see the end of the line from 1 M away sb12 athletes with a higher visual accuity acute visual Acuity than athletes competing in the ssp1 sport classes sport class and or on visual field of less than 5° radius sport classes as 13 sp13 sm13 visual impairment s13 sp13 sm13 is for simers with a visual impairment they per perer perer perer peripheral vision is is restrict restricted and or they have are able to see the end of the pool at an maximum maximum of 5 m s SP sp13 athletes have the least s Vision impairment el el for paralympic sport they have the highest Visual acurity and or a visual field of least than 20° radius in order to ensure a fair comp compe competion competion athletes in the s s SP 11 sport class are required to wear PL planted goggles to sure safely all s sp1 swimmers must use a Tapper swimmer in the SSP 12 and SSB 13 sport classes may choose whether or not they wish to use one they are no exceptions to the swimming rules the same rules as World Aquatics sport classes S14 s SP 14 sm14 intellectual impairment S14 SP sp14 sm14 is for swimmers who have an intellectual disability these shimmers have difficulty understanding or applying training techniques and competion Strate strates and competing Str Strate strates Strate strategies um especially in the busy competing competitive swimming Arena S14 swimmers have an intellectual impairment which typical typically lead to the athletes have difficults with regards to PN Rec recogition uh sh and syn and memory or having a slow Reaction Time B impact on sport performance in general moreover as 14 swimmers show a high number of Strokes relative to the speed then up up up put this app app this a this Elite swimmers or Elite swimmers there who are not uh dis have no disability sport classes S15 sb5 sm15 autism and asper Care syndrome swimmers with such conations as as autism and asper syndrome these disorders are characteristic by difficulties in social interactions and commun and Communications and uh restricted and repective repective repetitive ER repor repor of inter inter interest and activity sport classes s16 SP sp16 SM 16 Downs Syndrome intelligently impaired swimmers

their Sports performs the this includes those with the in in intell and intell disab in intelligently intelligently disability ass Associated lifelong conditionals or a gen genetic genetic con conditional such as Down syndrome no exceptions regarding um swimmer rules excepts at the start that is is that often S6 are not allowed to dive into the pool from standing position sport classes s 15 death in Australia simmers have hearing swimmers have hearing L lost Um this can lead to difficultly hearing the started during race races uh slower reaction times or impairing impaired balance which affect performance in the sport General uh sport class S2 s sp20 sm20 simers in particular partic par par parion classes part par partic partic the classes for who are not yet have their um sport classes um found from CL classific care the people that say which sports class you're in swim has pre previously classified it in the S1 to s16 classification range who have one or more of the above impairments and are currently in Alle leged or having a PO poent to be a buil allegedly in their future if talking about track and field then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about track and jumping T stands for running events and jumping events in power sports running and jumping 20 classes sport classes impairment types t11 to t113 athletes in this classification have varying levels of visual impairment T20 athletes having a interal impairment T and F31 to T and f38 athletes with C policy with Sero policy um t32 to t34 these athletes compete in wheelchair racing events t35 to T 38 these athletes compete in running events t40 to t41 athletes with less or thess including short sture t42 to t44 athletes with impairment in one of both legs often requiring a prosthetic leg or limb also includes athletes with imper muscle power impaired range of movement or lack length difference t55 to T no T45 to t47 athletes with impairment in one or both arms t51 to t54 Will share athletes t51 to t52 having impairment in upper or low limbs t53 having fully functional fun functioning arms t53 having fully functioning arms but no trunk function function

having increasing increasing increase increasing levels of trunk and lack function wheelchair racing seven classes t32 to t34 these athletes compete in wheelchair racing events t51 to t54 will chair athletes t51 to t52 having impairment in upper and lower uh limbs T 53 having fully function functioning functioning arms but no trunk function on and t504 having paral paral trunk and L functions uh racing running three classes sport classes rr1 rr2 rr3 athletes with SE sever coordination coordination coordination impact impairment um hypertonia AIA athetosis competing in racing running event in sport class R R1 rr2 rr3 a with Cal policy if talking about para AR arer then here are the classes that tells us with what kind of disability we are talking about para arari is split into two classes open and W V1 open classes con contains both standing athletes and and those in a wheelchair archers position themselves at an 90° angle to the Target and may use body support wble V1 athletes may use either both limited to 45 lips in draw weights and without the using of the mag magnifying class at the Mark point that means that they don't have to use magnifiers on the B to aim it at the Target like they they do with the Open Class if talking about para pingon then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes double we H1 wheelchair SE impairment W H2 wheelchair minor impairment uh sl3 standing lower limbs impairment s um sl4 standing low limbs impairments minor s s Uh u u suu five standing oper limbs impairment S6 uh standing short St stature if talking about BL football then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about athletes who compete in blind football have a very low visual Acy and or no light perception fully bled or nearly fully planed to ensure Fair competition all players accept except except for the goalkeeper much where I shat this I sh this is like a blind fter this classification applies applies to the visual impaired field players to addition each team has a cited a a goalkeeper or no disability uh goalkeeper or player who does not need to be undergo classification there are no offsite rules all four outfields players much where I or uh for blant fter the goalkeeper is cited but cannot leave the area there are three sighted guide that direct direct players to to where the pole when it arrives in their three in the three third of the field The KES are the goalkeeper and Def fans the coach is mid M Midfield and another guide is in attack attack the football contains ball bearing bell ringing to allow competitors to hear its approach if talking about football 7 a site then here are the classific classes that tell tells us what kind of disability we are talking about for Cal policy athletes all classifications involve ulent athletes C5 athletes in this classifications have difficultly when walking or running but not in standing or kicking the ball athletes will will lose balance after a small shift in their Central equal Equity equum equilibrium equilibrium C6 these athletes have M mate by to S levels of athetosis in volun involuntary movements AIA unst understanding unand iness unstand or comination of ethoses and sp sp spasticity P muscle SP spes spes muscle sp sp spasmus um for all four limbs athletes in these classifications usually have problem problems controlling or con ordinating their arms particularly when running C7 athletes in this class are htic htic hyic hamic they have have par paralysis down one half of their body including face arm and legs this athletes usually walk with a limp and have an arm or hand flexes on the affected side of the body the other side usually function function functions well functions well C8 this class consisting consisted of athletes with mil h plaia d plaia both arm or both legs or a athetosis or monop plaia paresis in one paralysis in one limb athletes must have an OB Vision athletes must have an OB Vision obv Vision impairment that that affects playing football teams must include at least one athlet from classes five or six teams are not allowed to have more than two C8 players on the field if talking about Bia then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes bc1 this category is for both throwers and food players players those who kick the ball off the Jack athletes can have can have help from an assistant who can hold the players's wheelchair steady or adjust it and can give the ball to the player for the next attempt if the player ask asks for it bc1 athletes have S activity limitations affecting their legs arm and trunk and and typic typically dependent on a on a powered wheelchair bc2 this category is for throw wi players only no assistant can be given to players in this section section setion of their competition PC2 players have better drunk and arm fun function than those in class bc1 this abilities of their the their abilities of their arms and hands often allow them to throw the ball overhand and underhand and with a very very variety of gas grasps bc3 class athletes have sign significant limitation in arm leg in arm and leg functions and poor or no trunk control they are un unable they are unable to consist consist tently gra grasp or released the pole and are unable to Pro Propel the ball consistent consistently into the field of play and and allowed it to use a ramp with the help of the sport assistant bc3 this category is for player with a very Advan Advanced advantaged Physical impairment players use a device to assist them and also can be help helped by a n nominated a nominated person at the cour however the ass as the assistant must keep his her back to the cost they so they cannot give advice on where to throw or kick the next ball to get it closer to closet closest to the Jack bc4 class contains players with non cerebral impairment that also impact their con coordin Co coordinate or Nation bc4 this category applies to people with other serious impairments not covered by the three other categories players are not allowed assistant if talking about paraku then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes the new paral Olympic sport of canoeing involves competitors with physical impairment groups into three sport classes kl1 V L1 is for athletes who primarily primarily primarily Propel with their arms only with very limited or no trunk function or no leg function kl1 athletes in this category have no trunk functions or very limited trunk functions and no leg functions kl2 W L2 vl2 sorry is for a leetes who Propel themselves with their arms and part partial part partile partile trunk and leg function kl2 athletes in this category have partial partial legs and trun function they can sit up upright in the kayak and will and will have limited leg movement while p pedling in the race kl3 W vl3 is for athletes athletes have full function of their arms and trunk and partic function in the legs KL three athletes with trunk function and particular leg function athletes in this category have con con [Music] contion contion including mus muscular dist distr distrophy spinal Pia and ter Tetra plaia they use a double plates PL P petly to move forward in the water if talking about par cycling then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about C1 athletes have the most serious imp impairment which those in C5 have a lower level of impairment T1 to T2 resist for athlet on tricycles they are unable to ride a bicycle to the con continuation affecting balance and coordination athletes in T1 have a more serious impairment than those in the t2 category C policy CP this cyclist competed in four fun functionally divisions the is only allow allowed to start in one div Division and changing of Divisions in not allowed if talking about para Austrian then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about grades 1 a these writers are mainly whe share user they have poor trunk balance and or impaired function in all four limbs great 1 B some of these writers are whe share user they have either reduced trunk control and minimal upper Lim limitations or moderate upper and lower Limbs and trunk conditions gr two to like gr two some of these writers are wheelchair user they have several movement impairment involving the lower half of and good trunk balance or moderated impairments of all four limbs with reduced trunk control gr three writers in this section are mainly able to walk without support they have impair impairments in both arms or have no arms or altern [Music] inter intern having moderate impairment of all four limbs grade three also includes blind writers and those with short stature Gres four these writers have more degree of visual impairments or reduc it Mo motion or reduce IT muscle strength or reduce legs function if talking about gold pole then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes gold pole is played by visual visually impaired and there is no formal classification since all participants were blackout mask or plant FS to ensure fairness to be El eligible athletes have least than 10% visual accur accurity accurity remaining or a visual field restricted to 40 degrees diameters in order to ensure a Fair competition between the teams all players much where I headers or blindfolds during the game similar to five outside football the ball has SP in it to or or Orient players there is total Sil ENT in the arena while Paul is in play if talking about Paro then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes to be legit alible athletes have less than 10% visual Acuity remaining or a visual field restraining to 40° diameters a red circle on the slave of their J Judi indicat that athlete who is comp completely blind athletes competed in weight categories inde dependent on their Vision impairments if talking about para power lifting then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about competition is the competition is open all to all athletes with ccy spinal injury and amputates lower limbs amputates only power lifting is the divided into 10 different way divisions the athletes who lift the greatest weight is the winner of each division o orthopic disability Cal policy neurological disability Evolution neurological disability parlea and T tetra plaia par plaia and T Tetra plaia also called quad quadia are two several forms of par par paralysis that can result from SP spine spinal cord injury parlea consisted of paralysis from the wa down lost of feeling or movement in the legs usually caused by an inury of the lower body back Tetra plaia is paralysis from the neck down including the arms legs and body resulting from necks injuries and physical ex exertion exertion opened by weights and body categories men competed in the up to 49 kg 54 kg 59 kg 65 kg 72 kg 80 kg 88 kg 97 kg 107 kg and over 107 kg divisions wom compete comp competed in the oper to 41 kg 45 kg 50 kg 55 kg uh 61 kg uh 67 kg 73 kg 79 kg 86 kg and over 86 kg divisions if talking about par roing then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes there are three classifications cor cor cor course responsing corresponing corresponing to the three par Olympic SP classes LTA L trunk arm these rowers included all competitors who have a Min minimum level of impairments can include a visual impairment they are they are able to use their legs trunk and arms to completely to completely Strokes they are able to use a sliding seat in their boats ta trunk and arms competitors in these classifications can fix their pelvis on the seat in the boat but are unable to use the sliding seat because of their lost of leg functions a arms only these rowers have no legs or trunk functions and are only able to roll with their using of their arms P1 is for RS with minimal or no trunk functions who primarily Propel the boat through arms and shoulder functions these rowers have p sitting balance which requires them to be strapped to the boat seat PR2 is are rowers that have function functional use have functional use of arms and trunk but have weakness absence of leg functions to slide the seat pr3 are Rovers with resite residual fun residual function in the legs which allows them to slide the seat the this class also includes athletes with vision impairments if talking about par sailing then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about selling has athletes from autate amputate Ser policy visual impaired wheelchair and L or tress groups competing against each other classifications is done on the point points B basis there are three sailing classes the sonar mixed 3% crew Scotch 18 2% crew and 34 mrr single per event events the compet competitors are ranking between one and seven points de depending on their functional functional ability one point R rating is given to the lowest level of functions which are why while a seven points rating is G giving to those with the highest level of functions in 3% boats uh the total numbers of rank ratings points can be no higher than 14 in two% spot one competitor have more s level of impairment while the other must have a minimum level of impairment if talking about world shooting powerport then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about sport classes in shooting par sport compe competitors are divided into classes depending depending on their degree of trunk functionality balance while sitting muscle strength and mobility of Upper and Lower limbs sh1 this classification is for pistol and rifle competitors uh that do not require a shooting stand s H2 this classification is for competitors who are unable to support a way weight of the fire arm with their arms these competitors require a shooting stand in shooting powerport there are seven different sport classes for athletes with either physical or visual impairments the sport class profiles are set out are set out in World Shooting par sport classification rules and regulations sport classes as H1 pistol this sport class is design design designed it for athletes with upper or and or lower limbs empowerment for compet comp comp compet competition in pistol events sport class as its one rifle this sport class is is designed for athletes with lower LMS impairment for competition in rival events sport class S2 rifles rifle this sport class is for rifle events only and is designed designed designed two athlet for upper LM and experiment which necess ne ne necess necess test NE necess them to use a shooting stand to support the rifle all or no in com comination combination with low LMS impairments

lower lims but no functional Li limitation in their upper limbs sport class sdl trap athletes with good good bance balance and trunk function competing from a standing position standing from position athletes have an impairment in the lower limbs but no functional limitation in the Upper Limb oper limbs sport class SG U trap athletes with good balance and strong function competing from a standing position athletes have a impairment in the no non shooting arm sport class SV One rifle this sport class is a located allic all alloc allocated for athletes with a vision impairment from for comp comp competition in 10 m rifle events if talking about sitting volleball then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes being unable to stand is not a requirement for playing sitting volleyball there are two sport class es depending on the severity and impact on the core functions in sitting volleyball VS1 and vs2 less impaired impairments can be either upper or lower limbs or both teams can have up to two vs two on the roster volleyball of at the Paralympics is open to athletes with physical impairments including amputates there are two classifications for athletes empty Min minimally minimally dis and D disa the game is played with six players on the court at the time they can only be one empty Athlete on court at any time per team the rest must be the classification if talking about para table tennis then here are the class classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about there are 11 classes gr grouped as whees tt1 to 5 standing tt6 to 10 and intellectual impairment tt1 table 10 is has 11 different classification relating to physical or intellectual impairments one to five these classifications are for athletes in wheelchairs with class one for the most sever severely impaired and class five for the lowest level of impairments six to 10 these classifications are for those who competed while standing again class six is for the most Sly impaired and Class 10 is for lowest level of impairments 11 this class is for athletes with intellectual impairments if talking about par Tao then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about classes classes competing in Kori will have the K prefixed classes competing in palai will have the P prefixed the following sport

classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about in V chair basketball players are classified at on the points system from 1 to 4.5 to find out which disability category they should be in while most athletes have normal arms and hands functions the main difference between classes are trunk control and sitting balance which impact the re right R the rise of the player to cats and pass the ball lower numbers mean more restrain restriction restricts restri restrictions a team is composed of five players and some and some points must and some of points must be 14 or less if talking about wheelchair fencing then here are the classes that tells us what kind of disability we are talking about all wheelchair fencers have an impair impairment of the legs or feet or competed in will and compete and competed in with chairs classes fenes in category a have good trunk control where whereas category B athletes have an impairments the impacts their trunks or their fencing arm fencing at the Paralympics is open to amputate Ser policy and wheelchair athletes to level the playing field all compet it in a whe chair which must be fast turn to the floor at the angle of 110°
