Is there data that people would like to see included that we can seek out that would be useful for academics conducting research related to disability and disability sport?
The following are some sample questions based on data in ParaSports Data or could be answered by writing queries:

When dealing with Para-Powerlifting and athlete monitoring, what sort of test(s) can be implemented into an athlete's training program that my be used as a surrogate measure of actual performance changes?
As a para-powerlifting coach, we have seen great implications using the isometric-handgrip dynamometer. However, our sample is currently n=1 and may only be appropriate for this special case.
I am curious to know if anyone else in the Paralympic world has used something similar.
