Case Report: Constraint led strength and conditioning for Paralympic throwers with skeletal dysplasia
A constraints-based approach to strength and conditioning, combined with dynamic periodization and a comprehensive support system, provides an adjustable framework for optimizing performance in Paralympic athletes with SD. This multifaceted approach ensures that both physical and psychological demands are met, enabling sustainable athletic development while accounting for the unique biomechanical and physiological characteristics of athletes with SD. Future research should focus upon refining the application of these principles in diverse adaptive sports to further enhance performance outcomes and reduce injury risks.
