According to Disabled Spots USA, “National Handicapped Sports and Recreation Association renamed Disabled Sports USA in 1994. It has 91 chapters and 36 states in the United States. It gives sports and recreation programs not only the military people who get serious physical disabling because of their mission, but also people who have disability.” There are 303 million people, who have either mental disabilities or physical disabilities, living in the United States. “Disabled Sports USA provided sports and recreation programs to over 60,000 youth and adults who have some disabilities now according to Australian Paralympic Committee. ” Disabled people, who do some physical activity, are possible to spend happy life compare with disabled people, who did not do any activities.

Choosing a word to describe many different disabilities along with the way they live their lives. Sometimes not even considering the feelings of others, just using the label to not offend themselves. Mairs states,“I don’t care what you call me, so long as it isn’t ‘differently abled,’ which strikes me as pure verbal garbage designed, by its ability to describe anyone, to describe no one” (Mairs). Mairs has no care for the words people call her, she believes they are only protecting themselves. It makes it easier for them to recover if someone got offended. Everyone has a choice what to be called. If Mairs wants to be called crippled, so be it. You’re not her and living the way she has to every

Has your favorite sports athlete got hurt playing your favorite sport? Well being a Sports Medical Physician could possibly be helping that person. When I got hurt this past winter, I had to go see a Physician's Assistant, which looked at my injury and diagnosed what needed to be done just like a Sports Medical Physician would do. Becoming a Sports Medical Physician may be a difficult job, with many years of hard work and college, but if you like to help athletes get into better shape to get back to their sport, then this is for you. This is why I believe going to college, training hard, and focusing on your job will help anyone to becoming a successful, high educated, and well payed, Sports Medical Physician.

Formerly, persons with disabilities were kept private and out of public view. In recent years, the number of people living with disabilities has increased due to longer life expectancy and advancement of medical treatments for life-threatening illness. With the transition of persons with a disabilities into more conventional lifestyles, they are now thriving in society. Disabled persons can be increasingly independent through an assisting device such a cane or wheelchair, though cultural barriers still exist between disabled and able-bodied persons.

In the United States alone over fifty-six million people, or nineteen percent of the population, struggles with disabilities. Each one is unique, ranging from mild to intense, physical or mental, to even behavioral. The way society views this group is as though the handicapped are inferior to others. The aforementioned viewpoint has made terminology such as “retarded” or “slow” second nature in an average American’s vocabulary. It is unjust and has no right in modern civilization.

Disability sports, also known as adaptive sports or parasports, are sports that are strictly for those with disabilities, whether it be physical or mental. These sports were originally used as a means to rehabilitate veterans (Disabled Sports USA); the organization in particular that I am going to focus on is the Lakeshore Foundation.

1. My associations with the word, “disability,” has always revolved around the idea of a person who has physical or mental dysfunction that may prevent them from in engaging in various physical or mental activities. Therefore, I never imagined that a person who is physically disabled would still be able to be athletic. Also, I tend to associate the term, “athlete,” with an individual who is physically capable of engaging in a sport. These associations were formed from my own lack of interactions and experiences with those who are disabled, yet still manage to be athletic. Aside from my own preconceived notions, my generalized prejudices derived from seeing how those within my family were unable to play athletic sports because of their disability. The portrayal of individuals with a disability lacking a wide range of physical movement has also reinforced my

“Let kids be kids, they will become better all around athletes and have more fun.”-JJ Watt. High school athletes who specialize in one sport are 70 percent more likely to get injured than those that play multiple sports. When young athletes feel pressured into being committed to one sport it can cause emotional burnout. Specializing in sports at an early age increases chance of injury and can cause the child to burnout.

The kinematic factors that affect field athletes vary per sport. Every athlete in every sport require a different set of speed skills to maximize their performance. For “American” style football players every position requires a different skill set. Line men require more instant explosive speed to get off the line while receivers require a more stamina based speed. In other sports such as soccer the requirement is more endurance based as opposed to flat out speed. So by comparison speed is more important to a football player that a soccer player in the sense that explosive speed requires more from the muscular system in the initial 2 to 3 seconds that a soccer player does. Football player, for the most part, require a shorter stride length

Mr. Wolff encourages sport managers to take more steps to promote a courtesy environment to welcome the disabilities to join with them, such as educating peers, raising awareness, and finding the possibilities. Education is a very key point to the promotion of disability sports, not only to understand the needs to difficulties and solutions but also being an active pusher to create opportunities for those sports desirers. Enhancing the leadership of the sport manager himself is also an effective way to increase the involvement of disability sport. Although the sport industry is usually lack of actions, however, if sport managers are willing to break the norms and atmosphere to develop a friendly environment to attract potential disabilities

A sport physiologist's job is to examine their patients (Athletes) health and muscular activity in order to maintain or improve it. This can be for a range of sports for example a runner, a sports physiologist may look at oxygen intake as it is an essential part to running and they will look at ways they can improve this, an example would be breathing at high altitudes.

Disabilities, are the reasons why sometimes it is hard for some people to do normal daily activities because of either having a mental or physical problem. Though it does not necessarily mean that a person with a disability cannot do everything any other person can do it just might be a little harder for them. As statistics have shown one in every fifth person in the United States has a disability. With this being said us as members of a growing society should be more open minded to disabilities and become more knowledgeable about them, and what better way than being threw movies. A great example being Soul Surfer.

In paragraph 1-3 in the article it really affected me as an american. This is the first time i have seen a PRESIDENT use social media to call out people. Donald Trump has been posting (i was a little bit ago) how it's a disgrace to kneel during the national anthem. I think the football players were showing respect to our country and flag. We fought for our freedom and we have the right to speak out but saying kneeling at a football game is a disgrace i don't get it. That really mad. When we signed the DOI (Declaration of Independence) we said to our selves that we have freedome and we could do what we want (with limmits) thats what we chosses as americans.

The last two types of body build are the most logical and understanding of them all. The athletic type is described as, “[A] strong development of the skeleton...tall man, with particularly wide projecting shoulders, superb chest, a firm stomach” (Kretschmer 1925). This is very similar to the asthenic build in which they also shared the same distinction of being long and tall. Some are also schizophrenic and responsible for violent crimes. The development of the athletic type occurs throughout various ages, "It is apparent in the puberty period-from about 18 years old onwards; with the maturing of the body beyond 25 years old it become more plastic and more significant" (Kretschmer 1925). When I think of someone that has an athletic physique, I think of someone who works out or plays competitive sports. With this idea in mind, it may be possible that those who do workout or compete in sports have a higher aggression level which may lead to the types of behavior Kretschmer states. His description of the athletic build is accurate and representative today. One body type that Kretschmer views as a small group but I believe to be the majority of the population is the dysplastic type. He recognized that not everyone can fit under one of the three basic body types. This is a combination of pyknic, asthenic, and athletic, and their body type is both pyknic and asthenic. Kretschmer believed this type of abnormal physique was found in, “[D]ementia praecox and epileptic patients and
