Intellectual Impairment

An Athlete fails the Sport Cognition Test Battery, if the total score is 2/5 or higher. Athletes meet the T/F20 Sport Class Profile with a Sport Cognition Test Battery score of 0/5 or 1/5, in combination with Technical Assessment outcomes as follows: Shot put — Technical Assessment performance and outcomes must match with the findings of the Sport Cognition Test Battery. Horizontal Jumps — Technical Assessment performance and outcomes must match with the findings of the Sport Cognition Test Battery. Track and Road — The second 200m section split time must be within a range of ±1sec to ±4sec of the target time for at least one (1) out of two (2) runs; the Technical Assessment criteria is not met if the results of both runs fall outside the set range (i.e. score 2/2 on the Classification sheet).

For each test of the Sport Cognition Test Battery, the following scoring mechanism applies: A score of one (1) is given if the individual score for the Athlete is higher than the cut-off score; and A score of zero (0) is given if the individual score for the Athlete is lower or equal to the cut-off score. An Athlete fails the Sport Cognition Test Battery, if the total score is 2/5 or higher. An Athlete who scores 2/5 or more proceeds automatically to Observation in Competition Assessment. An Athlete who scores 3/5 or more on the Sport Cognition Test Battery must be allocated Sport Class Not Eligible (NE) and is not entitled to proceed to Observation in Competition Assessment.
