The benefits of sport and nature for people with disabilities

Joëlette And Co - Sport and nature for all

Today, many sports adapted to people with disabilities appear, in order to offer them the same opportunities as able-bodied people. We can observe in particular the rise of the Paralympic Games and disability sports.

Nature sports and activities have many physical, psychological and social benefits.

For some people with disabilities, participating in a sporting activity helps to reduce the negative effects of disability. It helps to fight against muscular atrophy and to acquire better resistance to tiredness.

But beyond the physical benefits, adapted sport also develops social bonds. Some people with disabilities can sometimes isolate themselves. Sport allows them to meet people, socialize and develop a spirit of cohesion and solidarity.

In some cases, sport also helps to improve the psychological state of people with disabilities. They develop their self-esteem, self-improvement and resilience. A sport activity offers them a new objective and allows them to focus on something other than their disability.

In addition, nature is a world of entertainment, escape and challenge. It helps to awaken the mind and make people with disabilities aware of their abilities.

With its products, Joëlette And Co wants to enable people with reduced mobility to benefit from these benefits by giving everyone access to nature sports. The aim is to promote social cohesion, increase self-confidence and resilience for people with disabilities. We wish to give the opportunity to discover the heritage and natural environment to people with reduced mobility, by promoting the values of mutual aid and sharing.

Giving access to nature sports to everyone is a dream; we work every day to make it a reality, through our pragmatism as an industrial company and international distribution.
