Adaptive sports

Hiiii!! 😃

Today, we are going to talk about adaptive sports and how these kind of sport can help many people.

It´s very important to know adaptive sports since there are a large number of students with disabilities and we must be prepared to respond adequately.

In our career, Sport Sciences, we have designed sessions for us, for our friends. We have to consider that none on them had movement limitations. Now, we also have to consider that it's possible that in the future we work with people who presents a disability. So, we must be prepared to respond adequately. We had a subject called Deporte para personas con Discapacidad in which we have worked and refllected specifically this issue, playing for example basketball or tennis sitting on a specific chair.

Here we show you a PDF about the adaptive sports and recreation. Hope it will help you 😃
