Adaptive physical activity involves modifying traditional exercises and physical activities to accommodate the abilities and needs of individuals with physical disabilities or limitations. This approach ensures that individuals with disabilities can participate in physical activity safely, improve strength, and enhance overall health.

Adaptive physical activity may include modifications to exercise routines, the use of assistive devices, and the development of individualized fitness plans to promote strength, mobility, and endurance. It can be applied to a wide range of conditions, including neurological disorders, amputations, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Adaptive physical activity is vital for promoting inclusion, improving physical health, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities.
