O Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) opens registration for a free training course focused on parasports, aimed at professionals and students in the areas of health and education. The first event will be in Macaíba (RN), on January 18, with the theme “Challenges and perspectives of adapted sports training: far beyond health”. Throughout the first half of 2019, five meetings will be held, offered once a month, for the course's target audience, in addition to professionals from the Family Health Strategy (ESF) and the Family Health Support Center (NASF) of Macaíba. Registrations can be made until 15/01/19 via online form: https://goo.gl/forms/bfjNP7L4x9w5VGV43. Participants are asked to bring one kilo of non-perishable food on the day of the meetings, so that the collected material can be donated to an institution that promotes parasports activities in Rio Grande do Norte.
Sports practices combined with rehabilitation
The training focuses on parasports practices and modalities aimed at children and adolescents with congenital and/or acquired spinal cord injuries, treated at Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (CEPS). With this, it is expected to qualify professionals interested in working in parasports so that, in the short term, sports practices become allies in the rehabilitation process of these patients. According to Camila Simão, Coordinator of Physical Rehabilitation at the Specialized Rehabilitation Center of CEPS, the course expands and strengthens the process of inclusion and greater participation of people with disabilities in the context of their routine: “The training of professionals and students who work with this population favors more possibilities of access and social participation. We believe that, in this way, sport can act as an integral part of the line of prevention, promotion, care and the process of rehabilitation and habilitation of patients”, she evaluates.
This is a permanent education activity promoted by ISD, through the multidisciplinary team and Residents of CEPS Anita Garibaldi and researchers and students of the Master's in Neuroengineering at Edmond and Lilly Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS), in partnership with the Macaíba Sports and Leisure Department and the National Association of Sports for the Disabled (ANDE). The course is supported by Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB); Strength in Sport Program (PROFESP), of the Ministry of Defense; It is Wings Institute for Sport, Culture and Citizenship (IAECC).
