Umfang 2 Semesterwochenstunden
Inhalt Being sufficiently physically active is an essential component of human health. International recommendations for regular physical activity are identical for all adults. However, the barriers for individuals with physical or mental impairments, or facing health-compromising conditions, mean that engaging in sufficient physical activity is frequently a significant challenge. This course addresses recommendations, training protocols, and current practice for individuals engaging in Adapted Physical Activity. Return to movement during rehabilitation, assessments for feasible training programmes, and elite parasport will be addressed.

Students attending this course will receive an overview of the ways in which physical activity and sports programmes are adapted and tailored to meet the needs of individuals living with any form of physical or mental impairment. This includes topics such as:

- Return to physical movement an activity following severe illness or trauma.

- Appropriate training plans for older individuals.
- Adapted physical activity in schools
- Physical activity and sport during pregnancy
- Adapting training infrastructures – accessibility of public sports facilities
- Parasport – categories, training and high-level competition
- Sports for individuals with limitations in Switzerland
