Their contents include such three dimensions as adapted physical education, adapted physical rehabilitation as well as adapted sports and recreation; they play an extensive guiding, long-term planning and practice guiding role in adapted physical activity development in Europe. The authors proposed that China establish a nationwide adapted physical activity association as soon as possible, establish stan-dards for nationwide adapted physical activity professional cultivation, and speed up the comprehensive cultivation of adapted physical activity professionals, so as to meet the need of adapted physical activity development in China.
