Course content

Five special issues will be introduced by the lecturer. These issues are highly relevant and have multidisciplinary characteristics. Furthermore, each issue can be contrasted against able-bodied sport. Five issues are presented as a model: 1) Olympic and Paralympic Educational Material: creating awareness 2) Exercising in extreme conditions: pollution, heat, humidity, cold 3) The integration of athletes with an intellectual disability in the Paralympic Movement: research supporting the relationship between intellectual functioning and sport-specific performance 4) The Oscar Pistorius case: disabled versus superabled 5) Adapted Physical Activity in Post -disaster intervention These issues may change over time dependent on their relevance.
