Athletes from the 25 competing nations were treated to a colorful and lively ceremony that highlighted the festive nature of the Brazilian culture. The athletes were treated to several acrobatic and dance performances that lived up to the Parpan Ams motto “Viva essa Energia!” or “Share the Energy!” Carlos Arthur Nuzman, President of the XV Pan American Games Rio 2007 Organizing Committee, and Andrew Parsons, President of the Americas Paralympic Committee, addressed the crowd and the ceremony concluded with the lighting of the Parapan American Cauldron. The flame was lit inside the arena and will be transferred to the Athlete’s Village, where it will remain until the conclusion of the Games. Track & Field team member Robyn Stawski (Tampa, Fla.) shared her thoughts on the ceremony: “The Opening Ceremony really lit a fire in me,” said Stawksi. “There was so much energy and enthusiasm. I really walked away feeling inspired, empowered and ready to do my best. It’s truly an honor and privilege to see all these countries together and, at the same time, represent my own.” Powerlifters Hope to Lift Their Dreams for Beijing with Strong Performance in Rio Two-time Paralympian Mary Stack (Ann Arbor, Mich.) leads the four-athlete U.S. Parapan American Powerlifting Team, which is the same group that represented the U.S. at the 2006 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Powerlifting World Championships in Busan, Korea. The first half of the 2007 United States Parapan American Games Powerlifting Team will take the platform tomorrow. Rohan Murphy (University Park, Pa.) will get things started for Team USA at 10:00 Rio time in Pavilion 3A at the Rio Centro Convention Center in the men’s 56kg weight class.

He finished 13th in the men’s 75 kg class in Busan. Men’s Sitting Volleyball Team prepares for final opportunity to qualify for the Paralympic Games The U.S. Men’s Sitting Volleyball team returns to the Parapan American Games to defend its gold medal from the 2003 Games in Mar del Plata, Argentina. It was there that the U.S. won a berth to the 2004 Paralympic Games and eventually finished sixth in the 2004 competition, the team’s highest finish ever in the Paralympic Games. The U.S. returns four veterans from the 2004 team: team captain Brent Rasmussen (Omaha, Neb.), Eric Duda (Edmond, Okla.), Curtis Lease (Naperville, Ill.) and Chris Seilkop (Deland, Fla.). A ninth-place finish at the 2006 Sitting Volleyball World Championships was not enough to advance the team to the 2008 Paralympic Games. Now, the Parapan Am Games are the final opportunity for the U.S. to qualify for the 2008 Paralympic Games. The U.S. must win the gold in order to head to Beijing next year. Brent Rasmussen will look to help lead the U.S. to a second straight Parapan Ams gold medal. Gold is everything The U.S. Parapan American Table Tennis Team is preparing to serve twisting backhands and forehands to opponents at the 2007 Parapan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nine Americans will swing their paddles with calculated precision as they vie for victory against the steady hands of the opposition. Norman Bass (Inglewood, Calif.), Stuart Caplin (Orange Park, Fla.), Pam Fontaine (Double Oak, Texas), Tahl Leibovitz (Ozone Park, N.Y.), Edward Levy (Portland, Ore.), Wayne Lo (Sunnyvale, Calif.), Noga Nir-Kistler (Allentown, Pa.), Andre Scott (Fort Worth, Texas) and Mitchell Seidenfeld (Lakeville, Minn.) are ready to take on the Americas. Gold is the ultimate objective. The simplest route to the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games for table tennis players will be traveled only by those who win their classes in Rio. Tahl Leibovitz has won six gold medals at the “The easiest way to go to Beijing is to win a gold medal here,” U.S. Paralympics Table last two Parapan Tennis Head Coach Sean O’Neill (Portland, Ore.) said. American Games. U.S. Parapan Am Track & Field Team Ready to Race in Rio With the largest number of athletes of any U.S. team, the track & field roster weighs in 36- members long. And as U.S. Paralympic Track & Field Head Coach Troy Engle (Colorado Springs, Colo.) will tell you, there’s strength in those numbers. “This is a quality, high-level competition and everyone on our team has the potential to medal,” said Coach Engle. “All results from appearances here in Rio will appear on the world list, and I’m confident that our athletes will be extremely competitive and have the opportunity to achieve elite-level standards in their classification or event.” Of the 36 athletes, 10 competed at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece. Those athletes are Edwin Cockrell (New Athens, Ill.), Scott Danberg (Cooper City, Fla.), Ryan Fann (Brush Creek, Tenn.), Brian Frasure (Apex, N.C.), Elexis Gillette (Greenville, N.C.), Peter Gottwald Jr. (West Chester, Pa.), April Holmes (Chula Vista., Calif./Somerdale, N.J.), Jill Kennedy (Palmyra, Va.), Royal Mitchell (Chula Vista, Calif.) and Marlon Shirley (Chula Vista, Calif./Tremonton, Utah). Coach Engle is joined by a cast of supporting coaches, including Ambulatory Head Coach Joaquim Cruz (San Diego, Calif.), a three-time Brazilian Olympian, who leads the U.S. Paralympic Ambulatory Resident Track & Field Program at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif; Throws Head Coach Carla Garrett (Tucson, Ariz.); and Wheelchair Track Head Coach Kevin Orr (Birmingham, Ala.). U.S. Paralympian and world record holder (women’s T44 100, 200, 400m) April Holmes and U.S. Paralympian (2000) Troy Davis (Queen Creek, Ariz.) were chosen by fellow teammates to serve as co-captains of the team at the competition. Troy Davis and April Holmes were named “It’s an honor for me to serve as co-captain,” said Holmes. “It seems like not long ago that I the men’s and women’s lost my leg, I can hardly believe how fast time has passed. To know that other members of captains, respectively, this team voted for me to represent us and serve as a leader – and to hopefully provide some for the U.S. Parapan laughs, really means the world to me.” American Track and Field Team. “I was honored to be recognized by my teammates, whom I highly regard and respect,” said Davis. “For them to think of me as one of their leaders is a high honor for me.” .

    A Study on the Changes in the Number of Participating Athletes in the National Disabled Games between 2008 and 2012, Using the Latent Growth Model Cheng-Lung Wu, Department of Marine Sports and Recreation, National Penghu University of Science and Technology, Taiwan ABSTRACT This study employed the Latent Growth Model (LGM) to analyze changes in the number of participating athletes in the National Disabled Games from all cities and counties in Taiwan between 2008 and 2012. The aim was to examine the changes and dynamic process of the participating athletes at different times. The result of the study indicates that between 2008 and 2012, the initial average of the number of participating athletes in the National Disabled Games is 53.23, and the average growth is 3.93; the respective t values are 6.78 and 2.81, which are both statistically significant (*p<.05). In other words, the average number of participating athletes in the National Disabled Games in 2008 was 53.23, and continued to grow at an average rate of 3.93 persons per year. There was significant growth in the number of participating athletes between 2008 and 2012 in all cities and counties. In addition, there was significant difference in the growth rates among different cities and counties. Keywords: Latent Growth Model (LGM), physical and mental impairments, National Disabled Games INTRODUCTION It has become a global trend to improve the welfare of the physically and mentally challenged.

    WADA Technical Document for Sport Specific Analysis Version Number:4.03.1 Written By: TDSSA Expert Group Approved By: WADA Executive Committee Date: 145 November 20187 Effective Date: 1 January 20198 1. Introduction As part of WADA’s move towards ensuring Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs) implement more intelligent and effective anti-doping programs, Article 5.4.1 of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (WADC2015) states – “WADA, in consultation with International Federations and other Anti-Doping Organizations, will adopt a Technical Document under the International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI) that establishes by means of a risk assessment which Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods are most likely to be abused in particular sports and sports disciplines.” This Technical Document for Sport Specific Analysis (TDSSA) is intended to ensure that the Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods within the scope of the TDSSA and other tools that support the detection of Prohibited Substances and/or identify the Use of Prohibited Methods such as the Athlete Biological Passport are subject to an appropriate and consistent level of analysis and adoption by all ADOs that conduct Testing in those sports/disciplines deemed at risk. Compliance with the TDSSA is mandatory under the WADC2015. The development of the TDSSA is based on a scientific approach linking physiological and non- physiological demand of Athlete performance with the potential ergogenic benefit of those Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods within the scope of the TDSSA. The TDSSA complements other anti-doping tools and programs such as the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), intelligence gathering and investigations.
