Story
Join Team Para START and help empower athletes with disabilities to achieve their sporting potential!
By taking part or supporting a Para START runner, you’ll be providing much needed funding for Para START, a unique longitudinal research program based at The University of Queensland.
The program provides inclusive, performance-focused sports training for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with high support needs. Importantly, our embedded, co-designed research projects ensure the processes we employ reflect world's best practice and provide an important source of scientific evidence regarding the training responses to sport.

This year, we are aiming to raise $5,000 to develop a modular seated throwing frame, which will allow our athletes to participate in events like shot put, discus, and club throw and which will be suitable for all Para athletes regardless of disability severity.
Achieving this goal is a major challenge, as they require highly specialised, adjustable equipment tailored to each athlete’s needs. Access to this equipment opens new opportunities for competition, inclusion and progression in Para sport.

Findings from the Para START program clearly demonstrates that Para sport is not only exciting and inspiring – it can confer a whole raft of clinically and socially important benefits. This scientific evidence is important because, as it accrues and become stronger, it can lead to changes health service delivery, with the possibility that Para sport will become an evidence-based means of enhancing long-term health and well-being for people with disabilities.
