Abstract

This article aims to publish the current state and possibilities of instructors of adapted physical activities in the context of rehabilitation. We introduce the goals and benefits of adapted physical activities and define the key activities of the adapted physical activities program to improve the quality of life of patients/clients. Subsequently, we describe several competencies that are necessary to meet such a program. Based on these competencies we will present proposals for the optimization of the requirements for an instructor of adapted physical activities to achieve improvements in education of these professionals.
