Share existing best practice and implement programmes that widen the knowledge base of the benefits of sport for people with a disability.

Over the last few decades Science and Research has drastically changed the wellbeing of people with a disability, thanks to new knowledge, services and products that empower their ability.

The Agitos Foundation goal is to promote innovative projects that approach knowledge and applied research in physical activity and sports as a tool for changing their lives and achieving improvements in the day to day life of persons with disability.

Case Study: Sports Injury Studies

The Agitos Foundation is supporting sport injuries research projects at London 2012. Such studies are vital for the advancement of all sports. Following research at the 2002 Salt Lake City Paralympic Winter Games, the design and structure of sledges for use in Ice Sledge Hockey were revised to reduce the high number of lower leg injuries. At the next Games in 2006 there were no lower leg injuries in Ice Sledge Hockey.
