The relationship between visual function and performance in para swimming
Key Points
- This empirical study sought to establish the relationship between visual function and performance in elite Para swimming.
- It was found that the current classification system for visually impaired swimmers may not be fit for purpose, with two classes better capturing the relationship between visual function and performance than three.
- It is recommended that no further vision tests should be added in the classification procedure for swimmers with vision impairment.
