Professor at the Hashemite University of Jordan, a sports expert of people of determination, Dr. Omar Hindawi, revealed obstacles that stand in the way of athletes of people of determination and prevent approaching the records in the Paralympic Games 2021 Tokyo, most notably the long period of home quarantine that players underwent due to precautionary measures, Which requires players about a year of training and hard work to return to their pre-stone levels.
Hindawi said to «Emirates Today»: “The precautionary measures taken in all countries as a result of the spread of the Corona virus pandemic, and led to the cessation of sports activity since last March, and entering into home quarantine, will cast a shadow in the current period with the return of sports activity, especially on Athletes with determination, who need long periods of rehabilitation to restore their physical levels compared to their counterparts from normal athletes, especially since the period of these athletes' distance from high training loads of up to 90 days, the task will make it difficult for technical staff to rehabilitate them safely without exposure For the injury, which requires nearly a year of hard work and training, to return to their previous levels, and therefore the inability to reach the majority of these athletes, the readiness required to break records in the upcoming Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2021), or even approach their personal numbers, unless Resorting to advanced methods and relying on technology and artificial intelligence in exercises that contribute to performance analysis, and can accelerate the pace of work safely, and choose the loads Suitable at every stage of exercise that protects the athlete from being injured.
He explained: «The majority of federations and clubs of people of determination have relied since the application of precautionary measures, and sports activity has ceased, on home training with visual communication techniques remotely, but these exercises are not sufficient for the majority of athletes of people of determination, and do not help them in achieving training loads that ensure that they maintain their physical fitness, In light of the athlete's concerns, especially in sports such as power ups and games that require the presence of assistants and tools, to suffer serious injuries that need long periods to recover from them, and thus expose athletes to the dangers of weight gain and obesity, which require with the approach of the athlete to spend 90 days away from his club, nearly A year of training to get back to previous levels, so these athletes will be facing great challenges to break records in (Tokyo 2021) or even approach their personal numbers. ”
He added: «Despite the difference in degrees of disability, this segment of athletes, whether brain or physical disabilities, requires training in them in the usual form, careful monitoring by technical bodies, contributing to giving the athlete access to training loads that allow the continuation of the development of his performance and levels without exposure Injury, hence the importance of relying on federations and clubs of people of determination to use science, artificial intelligence techniques and advanced technology in case they want their athletes to compete on coronation platforms in (Tokyo 2021), especially since such techniques are common in many sports such as golf, in which the technical devices And training on the use of sensors and measuring devices placed on the athlete's body, gives access to accurate data about the true level reached by the player, appropriate training loads to him to avoid injury, in addition to identifying weaknesses that must be worked on, and strengths in his performance that must continue to work on Develop it ».
He concluded: «With a quick look at the sport of the normal, we find that the federations of the developed countries have become more involved in the use of data analysis and testing and the use of artificial intelligence in developing their athletes, for example, for example, (London Olympics 2012) witnessed that 450 athletes who won colored medals undergo examinations Careful, scientific research has been conducted on how to take advantage of the physical and psychological capabilities of athletes who are excelling in developing all sports sector, and I believe that the introduction of scientific and academic research on the category of people of determination, like the worst, will help in overcoming the obstacles that stand in front of their ability to achieve sports achievement ».
