Sports and Activities

Sporting ideas

You may like to try sports where you compete against yourself, rather than team sports. Whatever sports or activities you try it is important to have fun! Below is a list of sports you may like to consider:

Horse riding – is great for balance, rhythm and stability.

Swimming – develops upper and lower body strength.

Bike Riding – activities such as Quad Biking or using a tricycle or scooter are easier to do than riding a two-wheeler as they have greater stability.

 Sports for improving coordination

Badminton – is a good racquet sport as the racquet is light and the shuttle moves more slowly than other racquet sports.

Yoga, Alexander Technique, Pilates – these activites will develop balance, stability and promote relaxation.

Archery – this will develop hand-eye coordination and upper body strength.

Canoeing or Kayaking – is good for upper body strength and balance.

Golf – develops upper body strength and hand-eye coordination.

Martial arts such as Judo – develops balance and strength.

Trampoline – promotes strength, balance and fitness.

Gym – you may find it more helpful to get some advice from a personal trainer as to the best exercises or classes for you.

Indoor Rock Climbing – is great for strength and endurance.

Walking – is great for physical fitness and toning your body. It can also be a great time to socialise if you walk with a friend!
