Sport for the Disabled

Sports for the disabled, also known as para-sports or adaptive sports, are athletic activities designed for individuals with physical or sensory impairments. These sports are modified or specifically created to accommodate different disabilities, allowing participants to compete and demonstrate their skills. They promote physical fitness, social inclusion, and personal achievement. Examples include wheelchair basketball, para-swimming, and adaptive track events. These sports provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to challenge themselves, foster a sense of community, and pursue excellence in a competitive, supportive environment.
