Along /with potential health improvements, your overall quality of life will also improve. Adaptive sports also provide newly injured individuals a community and a safe space to ask important questions. The benefits of adaptive sports are endless.
Just like abled-body sports, adaptive sports have different competitive levels. Some people take up adaptive sports as a hobby just to have fun and be active. Others may take up adaptive sports to potentially be a Paralympian one day. Did you know that there are over 50 official and unofficial adaptive sports? However, just about every sport can be adapted for an individual living with SCI. Many people ask how they can get started in adaptive sports. I recommend joining a club or team and searching for local adaptive sports/ teams in your area.
