Adaptive Rowing
Adaptive Rowing, or Sculling, is rowing for athletes with a disability who must meet the criteria set out in the Adaptive Rowing classification regulations. ‘Adaptive’ implies that the equipment is ‘adapted’ to the user to practice the sport, rather than the sport being “adapted” to the user.
The International Rowing Federation (FISA), is the sole world governing body for Rowing. Adaptive Rowing is open to male and female athletes, and is divided into four boat classes which are included in FISA’s World Championship programme. Races are held over 1,000m for all four events.
Classification
- LTA: (Legs, Trunk & Arms) – Rowers with a disability but who have the use of their legs, trunk and arms, and who can utilise the sliding seat.
- TA: (Trunk & Arms) – Rowers who have trunk movement, but who are unable to use the sliding seat.
- A: (Arms only) – Rowers able to apply force prdominantly by using the arms or shoulders only.
