Golf for the Disabled – Inclusion, Classification, Care & Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2016, Martin-Ginis and colleagues highlighted the critical importance of sport for people with disability to help improve health outcomes1<\/span>, while others outline that sport can challenge negative stereotypes about disability\u00a0<\/span>and provide opportunities for full participation in social life. The current paper on golf for the disabled (G4D) highlights why golf can be considered an inclusive sport, how the game is ensuring that the mainstream sport is accessible for players with a wide range of impairments, and describes key considerations for classification, clinical care and to support maximum performance in these players.<\/p>\n Authors: Roger Hawkes | Tony Bennett<\/p>\n Read: https:\/\/shorturl.at\/knz58<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n __________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on an international sample of golfers with disabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n Participation in adaptive sports can mitigate the risk for obesity and social isolation\/loneliness in individuals with disabilities (IwDs). The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related changes in physical activity exacerbated existing barriers to participation in adaptive sports.
