CP2 is a disability sport classification specific to cerebral palsy. In many sports, it is grouped inside other classifications to allow people with cerebral palsy to compete against people with other different disabilities but the same level of functionality. People in this class tend to use electric wheelchairs and are quadriplegic . CP2 competitors have better upper body control when compared to CP1 .

CP3 alpine skiers compete in LW10 or LW11. CP3 sportspeople with cerebral palsy are eligible to compete in swimming at the Paralympic Games . CP3 swimmers may be found in several classes. These include S3 , and S4 . CP3 swimmers tend to have
128-521: A daily basis though they may be ambulant with the use of assistive devices. Sportspeople in this class are eligible to participate in a number of sports on the elite level. They include athletics, cycling, skiing, swimming, wheelchair tennis, archery, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair curling, table tennis, shooting, sailing, powerlifting, para-equestrian , rowing and archery. In some of these sports, different classification systems or names for CP3 are used. Because CP3 sportspeople use wheelchairs in most of
160-435: A low economy of movement. One of the available sports for CP2 competitors is slalom. Slalom involves an obstacle course for people using carts. CP2 competitors use self-propelled carts to navigate the course. CP2 sports people are eligible to compete in swimming at the Paralympic Games . CP2 tend to be classified as S2 . CP2 swimmers tend to have a passive normalized drag in the range of 1.0 to 1.1. This puts them into
192-408: A passive normalized drag in the range of 0.9 to 1.1. This puts them into the passive drag band of PDB3, and PDB5. Because the disability of swimmers in this class involves in a loss of function in specific parts of their body, they are more prone to injury than their able-bodied counterparts as a result of overcompensation in other parts of their body. When fatigued, asymmetry in their stroke becomes

CP2 competitors compete in the BC1 or BC2 class in BisFed events. BC1 CP2 boccia players may push the ball with their feet instead of their arms or using a ramp like CP1 players in the same class. They are allowed to have assistants. BC2 classified players are not allowed to have assistants. CP1 to CP4 competitors may compete using tricycles in
288-504: A related sport specific class. One of the standard means of assessing functional classification is the bench test, which is used in swimming, lawn bowls and wheelchair fencing. Using the Adapted Research Council (MRC) measurements, muscle strength is tested using the bench press for a variety of disabilities a muscle being assessed on a scale of 1 to 5 for people with cerebral palsy and other issues with muscle spasticity.

448-466: Is for normal muscle movement. Swimming classification generally has three components that CP3 sportspeople must go through. The first is a bench press. The second is water test. The third is in competition observation. As part of the water test, swimmers are often required to demonstrate their swimming technique for all four strokes. They usually swim a distance of 25 meters for each stroke. They are also generally required to demonstrate how they enter
480-447: Is for normal muscle movement. Swimming classification for CP2 swimmers generally has three components. The first is a bench press. The second is water test. The third is in competition observation. As part of the water test, swimmers are often required to demonstrate their swimming technique for all four strokes. They usually swim a distance of 25 meters for each stroke. They are also generally required to demonstrate how they enter
512-557: Is not a typical one owing to the lack of motion control. In some cases, CP2 athletes be grouped in with F51 , F52 or F53 classes. Prior to a classification rule change made in 2009, CP2 Lower athletes often compete in T31 for track events. Historically, CP2 athletes were more active in track events. Changes in the classification during the 1980s and 1990s led to most track events for CP2 racers being dropped and replaced exclusively with field events. This has been criticized, because with
544-528: Is possible for both feet to not be touching the ground while walking. CP2 and CP3 are unable to do this. Head movement and trunk function differentiate this class from CP4. Lack of symmetry in arm movement are another major difference between the two classes, with CP3 competitors having less symmetry. CP3 competitors compete in athletic events in the T33 /F33 classes. In some cases, CP3 athletes may be classified as F53 , F54 , or F55 . Events that may be on
576-669: Is possible for both feet to not be touching the ground while walking. CP2 and CP3 are unable to do this. CP2 competitors have better upper body control when compared to CP1 . In IPC sanctioned competitions, CP2 players are classified as T32/F32 . Events that may be on the program for CP2 competitors include the club, discus throw, shot put and javelin. In track events, they have poor wheelchair control and may only be able to push their chair forwards using one arm. In field throwing events, CP2 competitors may have poor device release because of spasticity in their hands but still have good upper body rotation. Their throwing motion generally
608-618: Is rare for an athlete with athetosis to be included within this class unless he/she presents with a predominantly hemiplegic or triplegic profile with almost full function in the dominant upper limb. Can propel a wheelchair independently." On a daily basis, CP3 sportspeople are likely to use a wheelchair. Some may be ambulant with the use of assistive devices. While they may have good trunk control, they may have some issues with strong forward movements of their torso. While CP2, CP3 and CP6 have similar issues with Athetoid or Ataxic, CP6 competitors have "flight" while they are ambulant in that it
640-566: The T1 class. Tricycles are only eligible to compete in road events, not track ones. Tricycles are often required because their level of CP effects their balance and they are unable to use a standard bicycle. CP2 cyclists may also use a handcycle in the H1 class. All CP2 cyclists are required to wear a helmet, with a special color used to designate their class. Their helmet color is red. CP2 race runners are classified as RR2. The classes events include
672-427: The 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. The running style of CP2 competitors differs a lot within the class. They may run using a standard form but with much shorter slides. They may also run with their legs butterflying. They generally do not require their arms be strapped to race runner. They will still have difficulty grasping the handles and steering. Compared to other CP race running classes, CP1 and CP2 have

#1733084588270704-472: The T1 class. Tricycles are only eligible to compete in road events, not track ones. Tricycles are required because their level of CP effects their balance and they are unable to use a standard bicycle. CP3 cyclists may also use a handcycle in the H1 class. Cyclists in this class are required to wear a helmet, with a special color used to designate them as CP3 cyclists during a race. CP3 class competitors wear
736-475: The available sports for CP3 competitors is slalom. Slalom involves an obstacle course for people using carts. CP3 competitors use self-propelled carts to navigate the course. While some CP3 people may be ambulatory, they generally go through the classification process while using a wheelchair. This is because they often compete from a seated position. Failure to do so could result in them being classified as an ambulatory CP class competitor such as CP5 or CP6, or
768-473: The classes they compete in, they need to attend classification events while in their wheelchair to insure they do not get classed in an ambulatory class. Cerebral Palsy-International Sports and Recreation Association (CP-ISRA) defined this class in January 2005 as, "Quadriplegic (Tetraplegic), Severe Hemiplegic - Moderate (asymmetric or symmetric) quadriplegic or severe hemiplegic in a wheelchair with almost full functional strength in dominant upper extremity. It
800-657: The mid-line (upright position). Upper Extremities-Hand-Severe to moderate involvement. Spasticity Grade 3." People in this class tend to use electric wheelchairs. They may have controlled shakes and twitches. This bodily activity can spike their metabolic rate. They can operate a manual wheelchair but this is restricted because of motor control issues. Functional control issues effect all or most of their limbs. When participating in sport, CP2 competitors tend to have low energy expenditure. While CP2, CP3 and CP6 have similar issues with Athetoid or Ataxic , CP6 competitors have "flight" while they are ambulant in that it
832-428: The passive drag band of PDB4. People with cerebral palsy are eligible to compete at the elite level in a number of other sports including lawn bowls and archery. The process for being classified is often sports specific. As a general rule, CP2 sportspeople need to attend classification in a wheelchair. Failure to do so could result in them being classified as an ambulatory CP class competitor such as CP5 or CP6, or
864-463: The program for CP3 competitors include the club, discus throw, shot put and javelin. While F33/F53/F54/F55 throwers may be able to walk with assistance, competitors throw from a fixed seated position. Historically, CP3 athletes were more active in track events. Changes in the classification during the 1980s and 1990s led to most track events for CP3 racers being dropped and replaced exclusively with field events. This has been criticized, because with
896-505: The rise of commercialization of the Paralympic movement, there has been a reduction of classes in more popular sports for people with the most severe disabilities as these classes often have much higher support costs associated with them. Boccia made its debut on the Paralympic program at the 1984 Games. Boccia began to develop as an important sport for people in this class as track events began to disappear. The timing of this matched with
