The study explains that the various and diverse forms of adapted physical and sports activities including educational, spiritual, and competitive activities—can be practiced by all segments of society, from children to middle-aged and elderly individuals; from able-bodied persons to persons with disabilities; from patients to healthy individuals; and from ordinary individuals to high-level athletes. These physical and sports activities represent behaviors undertaken by individuals for work, recreation, treatment, or prevention, whether planned or spontaneous. There is no doubt that engaging in such activities has positive effects on individuals’ physical, psychological, social, cognitive, and economic well-being, particularly among persons with disabilities and special groups.
