Adapted Physical Activity: International Perspectives
Vol.7,No.3(2013)
Adapted physical activity is a profession focused on providing services to persons with special needs (also those with disabilities) and an academic discipline, which supports acceptance of differences and promotes services and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Adapted physical activity includes above all, physical education, sport, recreation and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. The purpose of this presentation is to describe basic historical and conceptual position of APA in kinesiology and includes the world, Europe and the Czech Republic. In the presentation we will focus on the following topics: (a) world history of scientific organization IFAPA, EUFAPA and selected national organisations (e. g. PTN-AAF, SNAFA, ČAAPA, NCPERID), (b) scientific conferences and journals, (c) Framework of knowledge and competencies with the focus on APA (projects APENS and EUSAPA), and (d) study programs in the USA, EU and the Czech Republic.
