What are adaptive sports?

Adaptive sports are athletic activities that have been modified or created to meet the needs of individuals with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities. These sports use specialized equipment, rules, or techniques to ensure that everyone can participate safely and competitively. Examples include wheelchair basketball, adaptive skiing, and sitting volleyball. Adaptive sports promote physical fitness, social interaction, and increased confidence among participants.
