Abstract

U ovom radu bit će prezentiran pregled paraolimpijskih sportova, odnosno objasnit će se što su Paraolimpijske igre i navest će se njihova podjela. Također će se prikazati sudjelovanje hrvatskih Paraolimpijaca na Paraolimpijskim igrama te će ukratko biti prikazane njihove biografije.
Sport predstavlja sastavni dio današnjeg društva te uključuje fizičku aktivnost koja se izvodi s ciljem razvitka tijela, zadovoljenja natjecateljskog duha, poboljšanja psihofizičkih sposobnosti, osiguravanja egzistencije i drugo. Sve se više prepoznaju dobrobiti koje se mogu ostvariti kroz bavljenje sportom jer se tako djeluje na cjelokupno psihofizičko stanje osobe. Tako i za osobe s invaliditetom sport može predstavljati mogućnost kojom će lakše savladati prepreke te prihvatiti postojanje invaliditeta. Provedena su i istraživanja koja su potvrdila kako bavljenje sportskim aktivnostima ima pozitivne učinke na kvalitetu života, zdravstveni status i nosi razne dobrobiti osobama s invaliditetom. U 19. stoljeću prvi se put spominje sport za osobe s invaliditetom, a popularniji postaje od sredine 20. stoljeća, osobito nakon 1960. godine, kada su održane prve Paraolimpijske igre u Rimu. One predstavljaju međunarodno natjecanje u većem broju sportova te disciplinama u kojima se natječu osobe s fizičkim, intelektualnim ili drugim teškoćama. Hrvatski se parasportaši na Paraolimpijskim igrama natječu od 1992. godine, a ostvarili su brojne uspjehe. Igre su s godinama postale sve popularnije te su postale najveći međunarodni sportski događaj osoba s invaliditetom.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, an overview of Paralympic sports will be presented and their division will be indicated. The participation of Croatian Paralympians at the Paralympic Games will also be shown and their biographies will be briefly presented.
Sport is an integral part of today's society, which includes physical activity performed with the aim of developing the body, the satisfaction of competitive spirits, improvements in psychophysical abilities, insurance of existence and other things. The benefits which can be achieved through playing sports are being recognized more and more, because the entire psychophysical state of a person is affected. Likewise, for people with disabilities, sports can be a possibility which will make it easier to overcome obstacles and accept the existence of a disability. Numerous studies that have been carried out confirmed that engaging in sports activities has positive effects on the quality of life, health status and brings various benefits to people with disabilities. In the 19th century, sport for people with disabilities was mentioned for the first time, and it became more popular from the middle of the 20th century, especially after 1960, when the first Paralympic Games were held in Rome. The Paralympic Games represent an international competition in multiple sports and disciplines in which people with physical, intellectual or other disabilities compete. Croatian para athletes have been competing at the Paralympic Games since 1992 and they have achieved numerous successes. The Games have become more and more popular over the years and today they are the biggest international sports event for people with disabilities.
