Both groups were assessed in 3 football-specific tests (Stop and Go, Turning and Dribbling, and the Illinois Agility Test). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The results showed that the footballers without impairment recorded a better performance in all tests (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.01) in comparison with the CP players. No significant differences in test performance were observed among the CP players from different competitive levels. However, significant differences (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.01) were observed between players with diplegia or athetosis\/ataxia compared with players with hemiplegia or minimum impairment level. Performance in the tests did not correlate with years of football experience, weekly strength training sessions, or specific football training in the footballers with CP (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.12\u2013.95). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> These findings suggest the possible inclusion of these tests in the classification process for footballers with CP because they discriminate among functional classes and are resistant to training and competitive level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2020-0370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,4]],"date-time":"2021-03-04T01:21:10Z","timestamp":1614820870000},"page":"1328-1334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Performance Analysis in Football-Specific Tests by Para-Footballers With Cerebral Palsy: Implications for Evidence-Based Classification"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Javier","family":"Yanci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Castillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aitor","family":"Iturricastillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Astrid","family":"Aracama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alba","family":"Roldan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ra\u00fal","family":"Reina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"r1","article-title":"International standard for eligible impairments","year":"2016","unstructured":"IPC.
