INTRODUCTION: Complex condition diagnosis of athletes is very important for maintaining the health of athletes primarily and secondarily for maintaining and increasing their sports performance. In our contribution, we want to demonstrate the methodology of a complete fitness diagnosis of the strength abilities of the paralympic athletes in alpine skiing. The results are important for planning their individual fitness training in eliminating strength imbalances. METHODS: To determine strength capabilities, we used the isometric method of digital strength measurement with a strain gauge (Mobile PowerTest System) of rectus abdominis muscles, spinal extensors, quadriceps and hamstrings. We compared the results with athletes without a physical handicap. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: The results showed individual deviations of paralympic athletes in absolute strength, strength coefficient and strength imbalance. Compared to athletes without handicap, their rectus abdominis muscle strength was below average, spinal extensor strength above average, strength imbalance below average. Quadriceps strength CONCLUSION: Exact, complex condition diagnosis of Paralympic athletes is important especially for maintaining their health, individual fitness training and increasing sports performance.
