Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Paralympic Studies
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Paralympic sports classification groups athletes by impairment for fair competition.
  • Current Paralympic Powerlifting classification lacks impairment impact consideration, using only sex and bodyweight categories.
  • International Paralympic Committee principles guide evidence-based classification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Establish expert consensus on Paralympic powerlifting classification and performance issues.
  • Identify areas for future research in Paralympic powerlifting.
  • Guide the development of a performance determinants model.

Main Methods:

  • Two-round Delphi study involving 26 international experts.
  • Assessed adequacy of current classification and competition systems.
  • Explored impairment impacts on performance and outlined a performance determinants model.

Main Results:

  • Experts agreed current systems misalign with Paralympic standards.
  • Neurological and anthropometric impairments show opposing performance impacts.
  • Performance determinants model directions include kinematics, anthropometry, and body composition.

Conclusions:

  • Significant discrepancies exist between Paralympic powerlifting classification and Paralympic standards.
  • Further research is crucial to understand impairment-performance relationships.
  • Findings will inform future Paralympic powerlifting research and classification development.
