What is the significance of disabled people participating in sports?

Life lies in sports, especially for the disabled. Exercise is the theoretical basis of rehabilitation and the guiding ideology of rehabilitation medicine. As early as after the Second World War, many disabled soldiers appeared because of the war. At that time, some people in Europe proposed to combine traditional therapy with dynamic therapy to promote the rehabilitation of the disabled. At that time, some people in the world also called it "the third medicine", which means sports rehabilitation.

But in the past, there was a narrow understanding that sports had nothing to do with the disabled, and sports would bring danger to the disabled; It is harmful to the disabled, not beneficial. "The life of the disabled is mainly to lie in the hospital bed and rest, and the activities of patients should be restricted. As a result, the disabled's energy is declining and their condition is getting worse. This is because after some or all limbs of the disabled are injured, they often stop physical activity completely or basically, and their physical strength in daily life is greatly reduced, which makes the functions of their motor organs and closely related human organs and systems decrease accordingly. This is not only reflected in the quality of speed, agility and endurance, but also in the visceral function. Because of the decline of function and function, the possibility of physical activity and participation in sports activities is further limited. Under the influence of this vicious circle, the physique and health status of disabled people are obviously different from those of normal people.

However, those disabled people who regularly and systematically participate in sports can effectively improve the functions of various organs and systems and improve their overall ability. Especially in adolescence, the plasticity of physical development is great, even the disabled part can not be said to be completely stereotyped, and the possibility of transformation is still lurking. Reasonable functional exercise of "use in and waste out" can not only avoid muscle atrophy and nerve necrosis, but also improve and develop the body. Even if the limb function is difficult to recover, because the human body is a whole, all parts and systems have complementary functions, and because the functions of other parts have been enhanced, they can also be partially compensated.

It is not difficult to see in life that a disabled person falls from a wheelchair and it is difficult to climb into it by his own strength. However, we can see that the wheelchair of the athletes who participated in the wheelchair basketball game overturned in the fierce competition between the two sides, and the athletes were thrown several meters away, but the athletes only climbed into the wheelchair to continue the game by relying on their strong arms to support their bodies.

Sports have more special health care significance for blind children. Physical exercise can improve the flexibility of the blind child's body, skin sensitivity and physical exertion, inspire the blind child to think and remember in space, develop hearing, improve orientation and balance, and cultivate the correct posture of the human body, so that the blind child's organs and systems can develop in a unified and coordinated way and make up for visual defects.

As we all know, normal children usually use visual organs to understand sports venues, equipment and different movements in sports activities, while blind children who have lost their vision can only make up for their visual defects through compensation from other senses.

Therefore, hearing is the main channel for blind children to receive objective information directly, and hearing training for blind children in sports can greatly improve their objective hearing ability. In sports, you can train to distinguish the size of the venue by listening to the sound, and distinguish and measure the direction and distance between your standing point and the pronunciation point. Whistling can guide blind children to run. Pronunciation and whistling can cultivate blind children's sense of rhythm, strengthen some actions to improve their hearing ability, thus enhancing their adaptability to the external environment, learning a special life ability and sports ability under disabled conditions, enabling blind children to gradually take care of themselves and live independently in their lives, and creating conditions for their active return to society and participation in social life in the future.

In addition, due to the physical or functional defects of the disabled, as well as the misunderstanding and even discrimination of individuals in society, the disabled are separated from the normal social life to a certain extent. Generally speaking, disabled people often feel depressed and inferior, always feel inferior to healthy people, often feel ashamed and looked down upon, lack confidence in doing things, shrink back, or dabble in, and dare not do things that could have been done through hard work. This will not only destroy a person's intelligence and creativity, but also lead a person to avoid normal social life subjectively, unwilling to participate in some normal social activities, confine himself to a specific small circle, avoid contact with the outside world, avoid crowded places, avoid appearing in public, and even try to avoid normal social life when meeting relatives and friends. This kind of depression and inferiority complex, if sustained for a long time, will cause psychological abnormality and seriously damage physical and mental health. Therefore, some psychologists once said: "The mental state of the disabled is the most complicated".

Therefore, disabled people should go out of their homes and wards, actively participate in social life and get in touch with society as much as possible. Disabled people's participation in sports activities is a very effective way to contact the society. Various forms of sports activities have built a bridge between the disabled and the real world, enabling them to widely contact the society, participate in collective activities, develop a sense of time, and enable the disabled to feel the value and status of individuals in society, thus gaining a sense of satisfaction and self-esteem. This will help to eliminate the sense of depression and inferiority, and can heal mental trauma. Therefore, this is a good rehabilitation method that is difficult to achieve with drug treatment.

In addition, the participation of disabled people in sports or sports competitions is not only a contest of sports skills, but also a contest of courage and will. Their amazing perseverance and indomitable will, their courage and confidence to overcome physical and mental obstacles, show the society that disabled people have the same tenacious vitality as healthy people, and can also make positive contributions to the prosperity of society and the motherland, thus winning social understanding, respect and support.

In a word, the active participation of disabled people in sports activities can not only enhance their physical fitness, improve and improve the function of disabled limbs, but also expand their life fields, increase the fun of life, cultivate their sentiments, promote their physical and mental health and heal their mental trauma. It is a very meaningful activity, which has attracted the attention of all countries in the world and has become an important content in international sports activities.
