Comparison of athletics records of intellectually disabled persons with records of intact athletes

Abstract

The study compares the records of intellectually disabled athletes with the records of majority population athletes. For comparison, we have used the existing world records registered by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and Inas, (International Sports Federation for Persons with Intellectual Disability).

To compare the best Czech records with world records, the best performances of women registered by the ČSMPS (Czech Sports Association for the Mentally Handicapped) were used.
