Abstract

The paper underlines the importance of motor and sports activity as a tool for social inclusion and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. The inclusive approach to sport includes education for the practice of sport at different levels, ranging from initial physical education to orientation towards sport and its specialized practice. This educational path is designed to allow everyone to participate and progress according to their maturity and function. In addition, it is emphasized that the practice of sport by people with disabilities or with any other form of physical, social, economic or psychic deficit requires a paradigm that promotes the recognition of the entire identity and social inclusion. This approach to sport represents a significant change from a traditional view of sport oriented exclusively towards professional competition and highlights the importance of using sport as a tool to improve health, promote social inclusion and foster education at all levels
