  • The field of Physical and Sports Activity Sciences and Techniques is one of the modern academic and scientific disciplines that aims to study the theoretical and practical aspects of physical and sports activities. This field focuses on understanding the physical, psychological, and social effects of sports activities on humans across different age groups, as well as developing advanced training methods and promoting a healthy lifestyle. This course serves as an introductory foundation to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts and scientific approaches that enable them to comprehend the basics of this field and its modern advancements.

    In these lectures, we will strive to teach students the concepts related to the field of adapted physical and sports activities by defining the concept of persons with disabilities, which varies from one society to another. Historically, the perception of people with disabilities has undergone different phases across various eras and civilizations. Some civilizations viewed individuals with disabilities as incapable of performing tasks due to their incorrect beliefs, and in some cases, disabilities were perceived as a curse upon an individual due to certain factors.

    Some civilizations even despised individuals with disabilities, seeing them as incapable of providing protection or defense against potential threats. Certain rulers went to the extent of ordering the killing of people with disabilities, considering them a burden on society.

    However, individuals with disabilities achieved a significant status within Islamic civilization, being regarded as important members capable of performing tasks even beyond the abilities of non-disabled individuals. Islamic teachings honored people with special needs, granting them rights that were often denied in other civilizations.

    We will also address the field of Sports Administration and Management, which encompasses the elements and domains of management, including planning, organizing, controlling, and directing. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of management levels and explore the concept of leadership.

    The final introduction will be to Sports Media and Communication, where we will discuss digital media and the digital transformation of communication channels, how to handle them, and the role of sports media in society. This includes promoting health culture and other related areas.
