From 21-24 June 1989 the International Federation of Adapted
Physical Activity (IF APA) held its 7th International Symposium
"Adapted Physical Activity -An Interdisciplinary Approach" in
Berlin (West). This was the first time that this symposium has been
held in a German speaking country, and it presented unique
challenges to the organizers. For example, neither the term nor the
field of adapted physical activity was known in Germany before the
symposium. Thus, at the outset, the organizers' task was to define
the meaning of adapted physical activity as a concept and to
identify areas and professionals associated with it. After lengthy
and intense discussions we agreed on the following definition:
Adapted physical activity refers to movement, physical activity,
and sports in which special emphasis is placed on the interests and
capabilities of individuals with limiting conditions, such as the
disabled, health impaired or aged. Despite the fact that the use of
an English term for a symposium in Germany would not be accepted by
all German speaking professionals, it was decided to use this term
because no translation appeared to be fully adequate. "Sports for
the Disabled", "Modified Movement Activites", "Sport Therapy", or
"Psychomotor Exercises" would have represented only single aspects
of adapted physical activity and were thus incomplete.
