Many athletics events have been adapted and use approved devices so people with different types of disabilities can participate. Athletics events differentiate between those held on the track (e.g., 100 meter sprint), those held on the road (e.g., marathon), and those held on the field (e.g., long jump, shot put). In order to compare performances more fairly, athletes are divided into disability categories when competing. Many sports clubs offer inclusive athletics training for people with and without disabilities.

Tennis is a fascinating sport for people of any age and gender. You can play outdoors or indoors, in singles, doubles or mixed matches – and with or without a wheelchair. Tennis is fun and soon gives you a sense of achievement; it also helps you become more coordinated and flexible.

Table tennis is an extremely dynamic sport that can be played by people with a wide range of disabilities. Conventional table tennis rules apply, but minor exceptions are made with regard to wheelchairs and leaning on the table. As a result, top players who use wheelchairs not only train with players who are on foot but can truly compete with them in classic table tennis contests. Beginners and amateurs can use a standard, everyday wheelchair. If a player has an impaired grip (e.g., tetraplegia), the table tennis bat can be fixed to the hand.

Draw the bow, aim at the target, focus on the bull’s eye – and fire the arrow. It might look perfectly simple at first glance, but success requires a great deal of perseverance, practice, and mental training. Wheelchair users and athletes without disabilities stand equal chances of success, so they can train and compete as equals without changing the rules. Inexpensive and easily manageable bows are available for beginners. Archery clubs and rifle clubs offer introductory courses, and you can train indoors, outdoors, alone, or in a group.
