Throwing Distance and Competitive Performance of Boccia Players
J. Phys. Ther. Sci. 32: 574–577, 2020 The Journal of Physical Therapy Science Original Article Throwing distance and competitive performance of Boccia players Masataka Kataoka, PhD1)*, Kuniharu Okuda, PhD1), Akira Iwata, PhD1), Shuji Imura, MS1), Kosuke Yahagi, MS1), Yohei Matsuo2) 1) Graduate School of Comprehensive Rehabilitation, Osaka Prefecture University: 3-7-30 Habikino, Habikino-city, Osaka 583-8555, Japan 2) Fukushima Rehabilitation Center for Children, Japan Abstract. [Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the relationship between throwing distance and competitive performance in Boccia players in order to establish a training program based on this evidence. [Participants and Methods] In total, 40 athletes, who competed in the Japan Boccia Championships and are certified players of the Japan Boccia Association, participated in the study. Participants threw the Boccia ball as far as possible, and throw- ing distances were compared between certified players (Group I, n=8), those who participated in the final round (Group II, n=9), and those who lost in the preliminary round (Group III, n=23). [Results] The maximum throwing distances were 16.38 ± 5.17 m (Group I), 10.67 ± 2.66 m (Group II), and 8.34 ± 2.73 m (Group III). Group I threw the ball significantly farther than Groups II and III. [Conclusion] Boccia is a target sport and throwing farther distances requires more effort. In addition, being able to throw at a longer distance means that Boccia players can throw a stronger ball and use this for various tactics. The results of this study suggest that long-distance throwing training would be effective in improving the competitive performance of Boccia players. -
World Para Nordic Skiing Homologation Guide Version 2017
World Para Nordic Skiing Homologation Guide Version 2017 Homologation of courses for World Para Nordic Skiing (WPNS) (Para Cross Country Skiing and Para Biathlon for skiers with impairments) 1 General In general, the philosophy for FIS homologation, and the requirements and recommendations for stadium and course design applies to World Para Nordic Skiing as well. IBU requirements for stadium, range and course design are also applicable, particularly on IBU venues. See FIS Homologation manual for: - Philosophy of Homologation - Course Design Criteria - Design of courses - Stadium - Waxing cabins, Ski test area, warm up course - Practicing homologation skills However, since certain classes and categories have clear physical limitations, the courses must in general be made easier, with special attention to fast downhill sections, sharp curves, and steep or long up hills. The following sections will describe areas within homologation work that specifically should be considered when designing courses for Paralympic Nordic Skiing athletes. 2 Definitions 2.1 HD (height difference) is the difference in height between the lowest and highest points of a competition course. 2.2 MC (Maximum climb) is the climb with the highest partial height difference, in other terms, the biggest uphill. The uphill can be interrupted by a section of undulating terrain that does not exceed 200 m in length or a downhill that does not exceed 10 m PHD. 2.3 TC (Total climb) represents a total of all climbs on the course. World Para Nordic Skiing Homologation Guide ver 2017 1 3 Classification Paralympic Nordic Skiing athletes are classified according to the following table: Category Class Region Impairment Main sport equipment and degree of impairment Standing LW2 Impairments in one lower limb (ex. -

The data from a global navigation satellite system and inertial measurement unit were integrated to compare time loss and selected sub-techniques as a function of speed. Compared to male/female AB skiers, male/female Para skiers displayed 19/14% slower average speed with the largest time loss (65 ± 36/35 ± 6 s/lap) Citation: Carlsen, C.H.; Kathrin found in uphill terrain. -
Introduction to Class S Law
Introduction to Class S Law 1 This schedule is the result of a rigorous and detailed analysis of the the vocabulary of law, using the techniques of facet analysis. As such, it represents a radical revision and expansion of Class S in the first edition of the Bibliographic Classification (BC1)1. The general reasons for making the revision so radical a one are given in the Introduction and Auxiliary schedules2. The particular changes in this class are considered in Section 15 below. 2 The Outline on page 1 (after the preliminary pages) is designed to give a clear view of the basic structure. If it is remembered that the schedule is an inverted one (see Section 8) the outline will be seen to show not only the general sequence of facets (categories) and their classes but also the basic operational rule in applying the classification. This is the rule that compound classes (those reflecting the intersection of two or more simpler classes) are located under the class appearing later (lower down) in the schedule. For example, Contract law is SBE; English law is SN; so the compound class English law of contract goes under English law (at SNE) and not under Contract. Similarly, Evidence is S8T; Criminal law is SBW; so the compound class Evidence in criminal law goes under Criminal law (at SBW 8T) and not under Evidence. 3 Scope of Class S and its place in BC2 3.1 The law considered in Class S may be defined briefly as the enforceable body of rules that governs any society. -

Classification Made Easy Class 1
Classification Made Easy Class 1 (CP1) The most severely disabled athletes belong to this classification. These athletes are dependent on a power wheelchair or assistance for mobility. They have severe limitation in both the arms and the legs and have very poor trunk control. Sports Available: • Race Runner (RR1) – using the Race Runner frame to run, track events include 100m, 200m and 400m. • Boccia o Boccia Class 1 (BC1) – players who fit into this category can throw the ball onto the court or a CP2 Lower who chooses to push the ball with the foot. Each BC1 athlete has a sport assistant on court with them. o Boccia Class 3 (BC3) – players who fit into this category cannot throw the ball onto the court and have no sustained grasp or release action. They will use a “chute” or “ramp” with the help from their sport assistant to propel the ball. They may use head or arm pointers to hold and release the ball. Players with a impairment of a non cerebral origin, severely affecting all four limbs, are included in this class. Class 2 (CP2) These athletes have poor strength or control all limbs but are able to propel a wheelchair. Some Class 2 athletes can walk but can never run functionally. The class 2 athletes can throw a ball but demonstrates poor grasp and release. Sports Available: • Race Runner (RR2) - using the Race Runner frame to run, track events include 100m, 200m and 400m. • Boccia o Boccia Class 2 (BC2) – players can throw the ball into the court consistently and do not need on court assistance. -
Classification Information Sheet Para-Cross Country Skiing
Classification Information Sheet Para-Cross Country Skiing This information is intended to be a generic guide to classification for Para-Cross Country Skiing. The classification of athletes in this sport is performed by authorised classifiers according to the World Para Nordic Skiing classification rules. What is the classification process? Trained classifiers assess an athlete using the World Para Nordic Skiing classification rules to determine the following: 1. Does the athlete have an eligible impairment type? An athlete must have a permanent eligible impairment type and provide medical documentation detailing their diagnosis and health condition. 2. Does the athlete meet the minimum impairment criteria for the sport? Specific criteria applied to each sport to determine if a person’s impairment results in sufficient limitation in their sport. This is called the minimum impairment criteria. 3. What is the appropriate class to allocate the athlete for competition? Classes are detailed in the classification rules for the sport and a classifier determines the class an athlete will compete in. Which Paralympic impairment groups compete in Para-Cross Country Skiing? Athletes are required to have a permanent, eligible impairment and will be required to provide medical diagnostic information about their diagnosis and impairment. Eligible Impairment Type Examples of health conditions Vision Reduced or no vision in both eyes caused by damage to the eye structure, optical Impairment nerves/optic pathways, or visual cortex of the brain.

Mitigated Finding of No Significant Impact
E309 FINAL MITIGATED FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG UTILITIES PROPOSED INCREASE IN INTERBASIN TRANSFER FROM THE CATAWBA RIVER BASIN TO THE ROCKY RIVER BASIN RESPONSIBLE AGENCY: NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES CONTACT: TOM FRANSEN DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES 1611 MAIL SERVICE CENTER RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27699-1611 (919) 715-0381 August 20, 2001 E310 MITIGATED FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) Project Applicant: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Summary Project Description: Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities (CMUD) is requesting an interbasin transfer (IBT) certificate from the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) for an increase in their transfer amount from 16.1 million gallons per day (mgd) to 35 mgd. The proposed IBT is based on the existing water withdrawals from the source basin (Mountain Island Lake within the Catawba River Sub-basin, and transfer of the water to the receiving basin (Eastern Mecklenburg County within the Rocky River Sub-basin via consumptive use and existing discharges in the receiving basin (Mallard Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant [WWTP] and Rocky River Regional WWTP). The IBT will not lead to expansions of permitted discharges at either of the WWTP locations in the receiving basin. This Environmental Assessment (EA) provides supporting documentation for the IBT certificate petition. Background and Procedural History: Pursuant to the Regulation of Surface Water Transfers Act [G.S. 143-215.22I(f1)], the Department is required to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) for petitions for an interbasin transfer certificate. The determination of whether an environmental impact statement shall also be required is made in accordance with provisions of Article 1 of G.S. -
