Abstract

It is well known that IDEA (the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act) is overdue for reauthorization and, borrowing from Block and colleagues, it is important to consider what evidence we have to support adapted physical activity as a field in the United States beyond this federal mandate. We believe that these questions have gained further importance in the current geopolitical climate in the United States. With that, we use this editorial to reflect on the evidence and direction of our field, with the hope of sparking dialogue and encouraging others to think about the future of adapted physical activity. In this editorial, we discuss the importance of adapted physical activity as it relates to health and physical activity and school-based physical education, as well as philosophical/moral arguments for the field. We conclude the editorial by inviting others to join the conversation about other unique aspects of importance to the field of adapted physical activity in the United States.

适应性体育活动在美国：对（近期）未来的考虑。

众所周知，《残疾人教育法》（IDEA）早该重新授权了，借用布洛克及其同事的观点，重要的是要考虑我们有什么证据支持适应性体育活动在美国成为联邦授权之外的一个领域。我们认为，在美国当前的地缘政治气候下，这些问题变得更加重要。因此，我们用这篇社论来反思我们这个领域的证据和方向，希望能引发对话，鼓励其他人思考适应性体育活动的未来。在这篇社论中，我们讨论了适应性体育活动的重要性，因为它与健康和体育活动以及学校体育教育有关，以及该领域的哲学/道德论点。我们通过邀请其他人加入对美国适应性体育活动领域的其他独特重要方面的对话来结束这篇社论。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
