Sažetak

Adaptive Rowing was the youngest sport at the
Paralympic Games in Beijing, Peoples Republic of China
2008. Although its international development started just
over 10 years ago, Adaptive Rowing is widespread and
well developed. To confirm this, 12 rowing Paralympics
medals at the mentioned Paralympic Games were
“divided” among nine countries from five continents.
Adaptive rowing is rowing or sculling for rowers
with a disability who meet the criteria set out in the
adaptive rowing classification guidelines. Adaptive
implies that the equipment is “adapted” to the user to
practice the sport, rather than the sport being “adapted” to
the user. Adaptive rowing is open to male and female
rowers, and is currently divided into four boat classes:
LTAMx4+, TA2x, AW1x and AM1x. The LTAMx4+ and
TA2x classes are mixed gender boats. All boat classes
compete over a distance of 1,000 meters.
In order to compete in a FISA international regatta,
including the Paralympic Games, rowers must be
classified by a panel of two FISA International Classifiers
- one medical and one technical. The objective of this
classification is to provide competition that is as fair as
possible by grouping athletes according to their ability to
perform the particular sport of rowing.
Adaptive Rowing brings a variety of benefits
including physical and psychological improvements to its
competitors. As with any sport, there are certain risks for
health and life during Adaptive Rowing, but they can be
diminished to a minimum by knowledge and appropriate
organization.
