Adapted physical education (APE) is the art and science of developing, implementing, and monitoring a carefully designed physical education instructional program for a learner with a disability. Based on comprehensive assessment, APE provides learners with the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich leisure, recreation, and sport experiences that enhance physical fitness and wellness.
Physical education is an integral part of our school education system. Research has proven that physical education is essential for developing motor skills and supporting the well-rounded development of students. Physical education in schools gives students the opportunity to learn teamwork, develop interpersonal relationships, and release stress they may be experiencing.
Sport can play a key role in the lives of people with and without disabilities. This book explores the benefits of sport and adapted physical activity (APA), as well as the opportunities and barriers people with disabilities face when participating in these activities. The book aims to present adapted physical activities as a comprehensive approach to an active lifestyle for people with disabilities. It introduces fundamental aspects of disability and handicap-including integration, adaptation, sport organizations, and psychosocial considerations-and describes biomedical aspects and possibilities of physical activity for people with specific disabilities or handicaps.
