Our aim in this study was to compare performance adaptations based on tactile or sonorous stimuli in para-judo athletes with congenital or acquired visual impairment. Twenty judo athletes with a type of visual impairment performed both the adapted Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) with tactile and sonorous stimuli and the standard SJFT. We used two-way ANOVA with repeated measurements in the second factor to compare the SJFT performance of athletes with visual impairment between two groups (acquired or congenital) in the two test situations, with the level of significance set at < .

- * Findings reveal that athletes with acquired impairments take less time to progress through developmental phases compared to those with congenital impairments, with a notable difference of about 1.5 years.
- * The insights from this research could lead to improved athlete development models tailored to the unique needs of para-athletes, enhancing their training and competition trajectories.
