This conference brings together some of the world’s leading sport scientists, administrators, coaches and athletes. We hope you can take what you learn over the next few days back home with you to your respective communities to help further advance the Paralympic Movement. The next few days will include keynote addresses, symposia, oral presentations and poster sessions put together by the IPC Sports Science Committee that will motivate and influence you in your respective work environments, no matter which part of the Paralympic Movement you represent. I would like to thank all the presenters for their engagement to the Movement and their willingness to share their findings, including IPC Scientific Committee member Brendan Burkett, who is a biomechanics professor at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Brisbane, Australia. Several of the speakers this week will explore the theme of fair use of technology and equipment, including the balance between access, competitive edge and the philosophy of sport. The IPC’s Paralympic Scientific Award will also be awarded as part of the VISTA Conference, recognising the work of one academic researcher for their contribution to research in the field of sports for people with an impairment. I would like to thank Bonn’s Gustav-Stresemann-Institut (GSI) and Maritim Hotel for hosting this unique event. I hope you all enjoy VISTA and take home with you key learning that can help us advance the Paralympic Movement further. Sir Philip Craven, MBE President, International Paralympic Committee I 4 I VISTA2013 Scientific Conference Forewords Prof. Yves Vanlandewijck Chairperson, IPC Sports Science Committee Dear participants, On behalf of the IPC Sport Science Committee, I am delighted to welcome you in Bonn as a participant in the VISTA2013 Conference. The sixth Vista conference organized by the IPC will once more provide the platform for exchange of current information, research and expertise related to Paralympic Sport and the Paralympic Movement. Athletes, coaches, administrators, classifiers, officials and sport scientist are invited to discuss the different themes at the heart of the Paralympic Movement: sporting excellence, injury prevention, classification, assessment and training techniques, ethics, development, recruitment, media, marketing, amongst many others. The objective of the VISTA2013 Conference is to have a number of these topics discussed by a balanced field of invited experts and contributions from a number of recognized experts from the field during the free communication and poster sessions. The central theme of the VISTA2013 conference is ‘Equipment and technology in Paralympic Sports’. Technological advancement has not only dramatically improved the quality of life of many individuals; it also has a significant impact on athletes’ performance. Not only the changes in equipment configuration, but also the complexity of the athlete-equipment interface, has put a lot of pressure on classifiers and sport-scientist who try to understand the impact of impairment on performance. Three dedicated keynotes and a series of invited speakers clustered in technology focused symposia will address the (wo)man-machine interface from a multidisciplinary perspective. Many thanks go to our partners and all contributing authors for their support and involvement in the Conference. I look forward to your contribution to an interesting program and I am convinced that this Conference will be once more the ideal platform for the thorough and constructive exchange of views in order to bridge the gap between theory and practice and to encourage interdisciplinary discussion.

  • Classification of Disabled Athletes: (Dis)Empowering the Paralympic
    The Tail is Wagging the Dog: Body Culture, Classification and the Paralympic Movement For consideration for the special issue of Ethnography on physical culture Submitted by Dr. P. David Howe Academic Associate Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport Lecturer in the Sociology of Sport School of Sport and Exercise Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough UK LE11 3TU http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/sses/contact/staff/pdh.html ph. +44 (0)1509 226389 fax. +44 (0)1509 226301 [email protected] 1 Abstract. The rules and regulations regarding the classification process through which athletes must be vetted to determine eligibility for Paralympic competition have been transformed drastically over the last two decades. A complex classification system initially developed by the International Organizations of Sport for the Disabled (IOSD) has been the distinctive feature of the Paralympic movement over this period. Key consideration must be given to the equitable nature of any classification system imposed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) in order to comply with the ideology of Paralympism. Paralympism is manifest in the dictum of the Paralympic movement ‘empower, inspire and achieve’. Using ethnographic data obtained while a Paralympic athlete this paper explores recent debates within the sport of athletics surrounding classification. This is achieved by highlighting the process of classification and how as a result of this process some bodies are celebrated and others are not within a sporting culture established as a ghetto for imperfection. KEY WORDS: Paralympism, ethics, classification, athletics, habitus This paper highlights the importance of body culture in the transforming of the Paralympic movement by examining data collected ethnographically by an anthropologist who was both athlete and administrator within elite sporting practice for the disabled1.

    ParaNetball Strategy 2018 -2021 A market leading strategy programme supporting coaches, officials, deliverers and players by providing experience and creating opportunities Understand, Engage, Maximise, Empower Contents 4 Introduction 6 A History of Disability Sport 8 Understanding Disabilty 10 Understanding Impairment 12 Mapping Disability in England 13 Disabilty by Region 14 Demographic 16 England Netball’s Disability Landscape 18 A Limited History of ParaNetball 19 Gap Analysis 20 What is ParaNetball? 21 Vision, Goals and Objectives 22 Strategic Goals 26 Firm Foundation 2 3 Introduction Netball is growing. We offer a diverse range of opportunities to play, train and develop and now we are excited to bring deaf and disabled women and girls into the netball family. Netball cannot be described as a ‘traditional disability sport’. It has a limited history with minimal numbers of players both in this country and around the world. However, in England, there are over 1.5 million deaf and disabled women and girls under the age of 50. These figures speak to the incredible opportunity we have at England Netball. This strategy is an exciting glimpse into our future and signals the intent and ambition that we have at England Netball to understand, engage, maximise and empower deaf and disabled women and girls across England. Fran Fran Connolly, CEO 1 million women and girls played netball at some point last year making netball the number one team sport played by females in England. In contrast to that only 448 deaf and disabled people took part in an England Netball session last year. This strategy has been published following extensive research and development pulling on an evidence base from across all sport.
