Disability sports are athletic competitions designed for people with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities.
Some adapt existing sports with modified rules or equipment—wheelchair basketball, blind soccer—while others were created specifically for disabled athletes, like goalball.
The Paralympic Games represent the highest level of international disability sports competition.
Also called adaptive sports or parasports.
