Having a physical disability does not mean you cannot participate in sports. A sports wheelchair is very different from a regular manual or electric wheelchair. There are also standard chairs for everyday life and sports chairs for competitions for disabled athletes.

Are there wheelchairs designed specifically for sports?

Physical disability does not mean that you cannot participate in sports. Nowadays, equipment is becoming more diverse and easier to use, increasing the options for people with limited mobility to participate in recreational and competitive sports.

There are many sports that people with disabilities can participate in: basketball, rugby, tennis, cycling, hiking, skiing or athletics. The latter was one of the first sports in the Paralympic Games and has become one of the most popular.

Sports wheelchairs are very different from ordinary manual or electric wheelchairs. Disabled athletes also have standard chairs for daily life and sports chairs for competitions.

Competition wheelchairs are lighter and easier to maneuver than traditional wheelchairs. The wheelchair has a smaller seat and no armrests or headrests to allow a greater range of movement. In many cases, there are tires adapted to the sports venue, whether it is a gym or an outdoor field. The wheels are generally tilted to better manage speed, the chassis is narrow and reinforced, while the seat can be tilted at different levels.
