Workout and weight loss on wheels- adapted sports

People who have sudden disabilities may think an active lifestyle is no longer possible. Not only is it possible to perform them but adapted sports are really growing in popularity. This is a wonderful means of losing weight, keep muscles toned, and a great way to get back into the game of life. Those who participate in a wheelchair sport know that that energy is burned very quickly. Although there are some difference in adapted and "regular" sports including equipment, rules, and number of teams available but the level of competition is just as high and victory is just as sweet. Throughout the year, there are competitions for all sorts of wheelchair sports. One example of an adapted sport team is the Palmyra Black Knights Sled Hockey. Rather then putting skates on their feet, they sit on a thing metal set that is attached to a blade. They are given two hockey sticks and must move the puck to the goal. Not only are the athletes competing but there is a sense of comradery that makes the experience even more meaningful. To locate adapted sports contact a local rehabilitation center or independent living center.
