Para Athletes with Vision Impairment Classification Fact Sheet
Para athletes with Vision Impairment Classification Fact Sheet What is Classification? Classification provides a structure for competition. Athletes competing in Paralympic sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport. Consequently, a system is in place to minimize the impact of impairments on sport performance and to ensure the success of an athlete is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus. In Paralympic sport, the grouping of athletes by the degree of their activity limitation resulting from impairment is called “classification”. Through classification, it is determined which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and what class an athlete is grouped together for competition. Who is Eligible to be a Para- Athlete with Vision Impairment? Athletes must have a condition that leads to one or more of the following impairment: • Impairment of the eye structure/receptors • Impairment of the optic nerve/optic pathways • Impairment of the visual cortex The athlete’s impairment must be in both eyes and measured with the best eye with best corrected vision and must meet the following minimal eligibility criteria: • Visual acuity is less than or equal to LogMAR 1.00 (6/60 vision) and/or • Visual field that is less than a diameter of 40 degrees (20 degree radius) Which Paralympic Sports include Athletes with Vision Impairment? Paralympic Summer Sports Paralympic Winter Sports Athletics Alpine Skiing Cycling Nordic Skiing Equestrian Football 5 aside Goalball Judo Paratriathlon Rowing Sailing Swimming When is an Athlete Classified? Classification takes place before competitions by a panel of classifiers specializing in visual impairment assessment. -
International Sports Federations Social Media Ranking #Ifranking Social Media from Side Stage to Main Stage
2020 INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FEDERATIONS SOCIAL MEDIA RANKING #IFRANKING SOCIAL MEDIA FROM SIDE STAGE TO MAIN STAGE Burson Cohn & Wolfe Sports (BCW Sports) is pleased to publish the 2020 International Sports Federations Social Media Ranking. Published for the fourth year in a row, this ranking aims to capture the social media footprint of international sports federations and provide insightful takeaways of how different content leads to different outcomes. 2020 has been a year unlike any other for sports federations. Despite setback after setback, with cancellations and postponements of sporting events around the world, the year has been revolutionary for the whole sports industry. Since matches and tournaments were not taking place, sports fans had to look for other channels of engagement. They found what they were looking for on social media. This year’s ranking, as per previous years, includes international sports federations (IFs) from both the Winter and Summer Olympic programmes. In addition, for the first time, non-Olympic IFs have also been included. This should serve to increase the comparative and informative value of the IF Ranking. On behalf of BCW Sports, I truly hope that you enjoy our findings. Share your thoughts by engaging with us at @bcwsport and use our hashtag #IFranking.

Rev Bras Cineantropom Hum original article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n2p196 Sport classification for athletes with visual impairment and its relation with swimming performance Classificação esportiva para atletas com deficiência visual e sua relação com o desempenho na natação Elaine Cappellazzo Souto1,2 Leonardo dos Santos Oliveira1 Claudemir da Silva Santos2 Márcia Greguol1 Abstract – The medical classification (MC) adopted for swimmers with vision visual impairment (VI) does not clearly elucidate the influence of vision loss on performance. In a documentary research, the final time in the 50-, 100- and 400-m freestyle events and MC (S11, S12 and S13) of national (n = 40) and international (n = 72) elite swimmers was analyzed. The analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman’s correlation with 95% confidence (P < 0.05) and Cohen’s d was calculated. There was a large effect of MC on the final time in the 50-m (P = 0.034, d = 1.55) for national ath- letes and in the 50-m (P = 0.001, d = 2.64), 100-m (P = 0.001, d = 3.01) and 400-m (P = 0.001, d = 2.88) for international athletes. S12 and S13 classes were faster compared to S11 class for all international events, but only in the 50-m for the national event (P < 0.05). It was found a strong negative relationship between the final time and MC for international athletes (Spearman’s Rho ≥ 0.78). There was a significant influence of MC on the performance of swimmers in freestyle races, especially in international swimmers. -
