“…The use of technology to measure motor disability has proven useful in several Paralympic sports [ 49 ] and could also be used in para-rowing. For example, para-swimming technology has enabled more objective and reliable tests to be designed which are likely to be included in the next revision of the World Para Swimming classification [ 50 , 51 , 52 ]. Moreover, also as far as injury is concerned, data is still lacking in this athlete population [ 30 ].…”

Para-rowing is a format of rowing practiced by people with different types of disabilities, thanks to adapted equipment set-ups and regulations. Para-rowing made its debut recently at the 2008 Paralympic Games. According to the mandate of the “International Paralympic Committee”, para-rowers should be enabled to pursue sporting excellence. Therefore, rigorous research is needed in terms of well-designed, high-quality studies. To the best of our knowledge, there are no systematic appraisals of the body of scholarly evidence in the field of para-rowing. As such, a scoping review enhanced by bibliometric analyses was carried out to provide a comprehensive synthesis of knowledge related to para-rowing for the perusal of practitioners and athletes. By mining eighteen major databases, 17 studies were retained in the present review. The included studies were found to focus on a range of aspects involving health, the etiology of injuries (n = 5), psychological and physiological responses (n = 5), performance, biomechanical analysis (n = 4), and new analytical approaches for kinematic assessments and predictions of mechanical outputs in para-rowers (n = 3). The scholarly community on para-rowing consists of 78 researchers, 16 (20.51%) of whom are highly interconnected. The most prolific author was Smoljanović T., from Croatia, with three items/documents. In total, 93.6% of scholars have authored one single document. Topological features indicated a highly fragmented and dispersed, poorly connected community characterized by a high number of clusters and a low strength of connections. In terms of publication years, the first scholarly article dates back to 2008, with four articles (23.5%) published in the current year, showing an increasing interest in this para-sports discipline. Finally, gaps in current research on para-rowing were identified in terms of overlooked topics, including sports nutrition, doping, and psychological aspects in para-rowers other than those with visual impairment.

Competitive activity is an integral part of the training of athletes and serves as one of the factors for achieving high sports results. Today, competitive activity of Paralympic athletes is practically no different from Olympic athletes. The main difference between the Paralympic competitions is the presence of the distribution of athletes into groups according to different nosology’s for participation in competition. The generalization of literary sources indicates the existence of individual studies devoted to the results of visually impaired people in various sports. In most scientific works, the authors studied the relationship between competitive results and the effectiveness of the classification system for visually impaired athletes in various sports. The purpose of the article was to study the dynamics of the results a highly qualified sprinter with visual impairments in the annual macrocycle. The results were obtained based on the analysis of individual diaries, training plans and competition protocols. The structure of the annual training of a sprinter with visual impairments was a typical two-cycle scheme, in which the winter championship of Ukraine and the World championship were the main competitions of the macro cycle. It was found that most competitions occurred during the summer competitive period. The dynamics of the athlete`s results indicate a wave-like change in her results in running at distances of 60 m, 100 m and 400 m. The results of the research made it possible to identify individual parameters of competitive practice of visually impaired sprinter in the annual macrocycle, which, in turn, influenced the timely achievement of sports form and its maintenance throughout the competitive periods.
