F56

Limb Impaired

F56 is for field athletes who have available movement affected to an increasing degree from the top of the legs down to the feet, or the absence of limbs.

These throwers generate power through a full range arm movement, and are close to optimum sitting height when the shot, discus or javelin is released.
