Aerobic and people with disabilities

Aerobic exercises

Long years of experience working as an aerobics instructor inspired me to adapt this dynamic activity and enable individuals with disabilities to enjoy its numerous benefits. Through participation in the Ilearn project, dedicated to supporting people with disabilities, I decided to tailor the aerobics class program to be accessible and beneficial for everyone. The results we achieved by adapting aerobics for individuals with disabilities were highly satisfying.
The combination of music, rhythm, and movement captured the attention of this special group, allowing them to fully enjoy aerobic exercises. This adapted form of aerobics has proven to be extremely beneficial and positive for the physical and mental well-being of individuals with disabilities. I would like to recommend to all sports activity leaders to incorporate aerobic exercises as part of warm-ups. Besides improving physical fitness, these exercises provide a pleasant experience that contributes to a sense of belonging and boosts self-confidence. You will see that the results will not disappoint, and collective exercising will contribute to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can find joy and well-being in physical activity.

Swimming and Volunteering

Swimming exercises

While I was a high school student, I actively engaged in swimming. Although the training sessions were not always exciting, I realized they contributed to general health, fostering perseverance and a healthy competitive spirit within me. When I became a college student, I temporarily discontinued training and competitions. However, after turning sixty, I rekindled my dedication to swimming and competitions.
I wasn't just reviving my own sporting activities; I also completed the Halliwick swimming course, learning how to support people with disabilities during their swimming endeavors. This experience marked a turning point as I had never had the opportunity to assist individuals with disabilities before. Through volunteering, I discovered the profound significance of empathy and volunteering.
It's impossible to describe the satisfaction you feel when you see a person with disabilities progressing in swimming thanks to your support. I recall a particularly touching moment. I was asked to assist a boy who was almost completely immobile. Gently, I embraced him, placing his head on my shoulder so he could float in the water. He tried moving his arms and legs, and he succeeded! His joyful exclamations echoed around us, as in the water, he could perform movements he had never been able to do on dry land.
Despite frequently getting bumped on the head while holding him, I still feel deep satisfaction because I enabled him to experience something special. Volunteering truly brings great fulfillment, and I warmly recommend everyone to get involved in volunteer activities that support and enrich the lives of others.

Role of parents

Selection of healthy food

During the implementation of the S:N:A:T:C:H project, we dedicated ourselves to intensive discussions with swimming coaches and instructors about the effective utilization of project results. During a discussion on the importance of a healthy diet, one of the swimming instructors shared an interesting story with us. While leading a group of individuals with special needs during a competition, there were two brothers with developmental disorders. They had two suitcases with them. When they opened one in front of me, I noticed an abundance of "unhealthy food." Despite already having excessive body weight, they received additional food from their parents. We understand that, as coaches, there is only so much we can do to promote a healthy diet since our interaction with the participants is limited to short periods during training. This is a responsibility that parents must take on. We unanimously agreed that the role of parents is extremely significant, and it would be beneficial for them to be familiar with the results of our project.
