Classifying the evidence for evidence-based classification in Paralympic sport

Figures & data

Figure 1. Conceptualisation of the process required for evidence-based classification in Para sport. The Development Phase (blue) contains the existing five-step process for the research required to develop an evidence-based system of classification (Tweedy et al., 2016). The Translational Phase (green) addresses the implementation of the new classification system. The Monitoring Phase (orange) outlies the need for periodic monitoring of the classification system
