Abstract
Comparative study between intact and ID (Intellectually disabled) were carried out in many areas (psychic, somatic characteristics, the motor skills of individuals with the ID, comparison of the level of intellect and motor performance. The study compares the performance of intellectually disabled athletes swimmers with the majority population.
For comparison we have used the existing world records led by the international swimming federation FINA, and Inas, (International Federation for sport for para-athletes with an intellectual disability). For comparison of the best Czech records with world records we were used CSMPS (Czech Sports Association for mentally handicapped athletes).
If we compare world records of FINA and world records of Inas in men, we can see intellectually disabled swimmers performance generally lower by about 20-25%. The performance of intellectually disabled swimmers women are Inas values generally lower by 19.1 to 26.5% than the records by FINA, that situation is almost similar to that of men.
Comparison of world-class performance of intellectually disabled men athletes with similar disabled in the Czech Republic shows the difference in the amount of 11 to 29,3%. Comparison of world-class performance of intellectually disabled women swimmers of similar people in the Czech Republic shows the difference in the amount of 10,9 to 28,8%.
