Abstract:The International Paralympic Committee has been promoting the development of evidence‐based classification to reduce the subjectivity in current decision‐making systems. The current study aimed to evaluate the validity of the impairment and performance tests for para‐alpine sit skiing classification, and whether cluster analysis of the measures would produce a valid classification structure.
