description The objective of this research is to describe the evolution of financial support and infrastructure for Paralympic sport, the challenges and strategies associated with this sport, and the technological and innovative developments within it. This type of qualitative research uses a systematic literature review method. The research procedures entail the following steps: compilation of research questions, conducting literature searches through the Scopus database with the help of the Publish or Perish application and Mendeley Desktop with Boolean keywords, screening, and coding selected articles, analyzing and synthesizing selected articles, conducting quality control, namely selected and feasible articles, compiling discussions, looking at the validity and reliability of the data, namely bias correction if less than 20 articles are found, the data will be corrected for bias. The findings of the systematic literature review indicated that: (1) Financial support and infrastructure: interesting studies have found that athletes with disabilities have faced inadequate infrastructure to balance training and work due to insufficient salaries and constraints on transportation aspects; (2) The challenges and strategies employed to address the complexity of issues such as budget constraints, decentralized experience, and personal life. Athletes must be able to communicate effectively, develop detailed plans, create contingency plans, and manage specific expectations. They must also be able to understand the specific roles and boundaries of their coaches and colleagues. Finally, they must be able to trust their coaches; (3) Technology and innovation: A qualitative analysis of the ergonomic aspects of a tool may be considered a contributing factor to the success of wheelchair racing, as evidenced by the analysis of wheel type, rim diameter, and wheel size. The research findings indicated that financial and infrastructural support increased in line with the development and profile of the sport, which in turn led to an increase in funding for the Paralympics. Besides that, technological advancement and innovative approaches have also been employed to enhance the ergonomics of a tool, develop the eHealth concept for the collection of injury reporting data, and conduct fitness analysis that benefits athletes with disabilities.
