Four key components of sporting performance in Paralympic sport; athlete, physical capacity, equipment, and the competition environment. To implement strategies that improve in-competition performance one must consider the physiological consequences of an athlete’s impairment on their physical capacity and the interface between the athlete and equipment. Strategies/interventions that could be utilized and implemented by Paralympic athletes to improve sporting performance at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games are highlighted in the grey-shaded box.
