What is parasports?

Disabled sports image

Parasports are sports that have been devised, adapted, and developed so that even people with disabilities can participate in sports activities by changing competition rules and implementation methods depending on the disability, and by using equipment to compensate for the disability. It refers to things. For this reason, it is also called an adapted sport.

Initially, it was developed in part for the purpose of medical rehabilitation, but now it can be enjoyed not only by people with disabilities but also by people without disabilities.

On this website, we use the term "parasports" to mean "sports for people with disabilities."
