The tests included athletes from the following teams: Weightlifting, Athletics, Goalball, Wheelchair Basketball, Table Tennis, Boccia, Archery, Badminton, Judo for the Blind, and Cerebral Palsy and Dwarf football.

The Tests included a comprehensive medical Evaluation, Nutritional Analysis, and Body Composition testing using a specialized device for athletes with disabilities, providing accurate data on muscle mass, fat percentage, fluid distribution, and other health indicators that identify strengths and weaknesses for each athlete.
