Adaptive sports are athletic activities modified so people with physical disabilities, visual impairments, or other conditions can participate competitively or recreationally. This category covers the range of sports available, the equipment and rule changes that make participation possible, and how athletes train and compete at different levels—from local recreation programs to the Paralympics.
The articles here answer questions like: what sports have adaptive versions, how do classification systems work to match athletes fairly, what equipment is specialized or required, and where people can find programs in their area. You'll also learn about the organizations that govern adaptive sports and how the rules differ from traditional versions of each sport.
