Introduction: Issues related to the classification in sport of people with disabilities is one of the major area of research in this field. Looking to objective criteria for assessing functional capabilities of the players, in order to allow them a fair competition, where impact on the achieved result is performance, and not the type and degree of disability. Material and methods: Analysis of the sports results obtained at the Paralympic Games (PG) in the years 2000-2012 was aimed to assess the classification system in Track & Field (TF). Material were sports results, based on official reports, obtained by athletes with locomotor disability (LD) in the track events during PG in the years 2000-2012. To determine the difference in results between starting classes the U Mann - Whitney test was used. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Results: The largest difference in the results obtained by the athletes (men) with similar functional capabilities was observed among competing on the wheelchair. No statistically significant differences between the results of the runners competing in the standing position was observed in T38 and T44 classes in 400m, throughout the entire period. A similar level of the results observed in women from T53 and T54 class practicing athletics sprint events. Conclusions: The specificity of the discipline that is the TF (a large number of events with various type of effort) can cause problems in the evaluation of the classification system, which doesn’t take into account the event in which athletes compete.

Introduction: Swimming is one of the most popular sports practiced by people with disabilities, and the number of participants during the subsequent Paralympic Games (PG) increases. One way to assess the level of sports in a given discipline is to analyze the sports results of the athletes competing at the highest level. Hence, the purpose of analysis was to compare the results obtained by the athletes with locomotor disability in swimming in the starting class (1-10) on the PG in the years 2000-2012. Material and methods: Were analyzed the results obtained by men with locomotor disability in swimming all styles, on all distances during the PG in 2000-2012. To assess the significance of differences between the results obtained by the swimmers in the analyzed period the Mann-Whitney U test were used. The level of significance was set at p <0.05. Results: We observed statistically significant differences in the level (increase) of obtained results in all classes and styles, on distances played during the next PG. Throughout the 8 and 12 years, almost all differences were statistically significant. This direction of change was most evident in case of athletes from higher start classes (6-10). Conclusions: The results indicate a steady increase in the sports results of men with locomotor disability in swimming. It could be caused by much interest in this form of activity among people with disabilities, especially those with less functional deficit. Attention should be paid to increasing the share of the athletes from low-start classes (1-5).
