Athletics at the 2010 Asian Para Games

Athletes are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows athletes to compete against others with a similar level of function.

The athletics classifications are:

• 11–13: Blind athletes
• 32–38: Athletes with cerebral palsy
• 40: Les Autres (others) (including people with dwarfism)
• 42–46: Amputees
• 51–58: Athletes with a spinal cord disability

The class numbers are given prefixes of "T", "F" and "P" for track, field and pentathlon events, respectively.
