Abstract

The present study sought to identify the differences observed in sprint races conducted by Paralympic athletes classified in different categories. The study sample consisted of 133 runs of 100m sprint race conducted by athletes in the semifinal and final stages of the 2014 International Paralympic Committee Athletics European Championships, in Swansea (Wales, UK), where 24 countries participated. The temporal variables mark (s) and average step time (s), the spatial variables number of steps and average step length (m), and the temporal space variables average speed (m/s) and average frequency (Hz) were assessed. A comparative study between the different categories and gender has been carried out. The data was collected from the recordings available on the championship website, was processed with the SPSS statistical package (V.22.0). Among the results, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of the step length and the average frequency.
