History of classification

IPC Classification Code

The IPC continues to be committed to the development of evidence-based classification systems, so that athletes who enhance their competitive performance through effective training will not be moved to a class with athletes who have less activity limitation (as they would in a performance classification system), but will be rewarded by becoming more competitive within the class they were allocated.
