Boccia : Paralympic sport for the most severely disabled persons

Abstract

Boccia is a Paralympic medal sport that has been devised in Europe so that the severely disabled such as those with cerebral palsy, cervical spinal cord injury and muscular dystrophy can participate. Players throw a colored ball (6 red balls or 6 blue balls) close to the target which is a white ball called a jack and compete for a score. At the Paralympic Games, athletes with the most severe disabilities can join the competition, which involves various devices in the classification and competition equipment. In this article, we divided the classification of boccia and equipment used by athletes.
