Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of parachute training on developing strength and improving the 400-meter running performance for athletes with cerebral palsy (Class 37-38). Parachute training introduces resistance that increases the effort exerted by the athletes, thus enhancing muscular strength and endurance. Results showed that parachute training led to significant improvements in strength and speed, reducing the 400-meter race completion time for this category.
