Japan-ASEAN Sports Collaboration

Japan -ASEA N Sports C ollaboration

Abstract This project aims to promote adaptive sports by creating an environment where individuals using prosthetic limbs can participate in sports through the activity of running with sports prosthetics. By focusing on the accessible activity of running, which is easy for anyone to start, this project provides a comprehensive program to address the barriers that prosthetic runners face. The ultimate goal is to support prosthetic users in achieving self-realization and social inclusion through sports, thereby broadening the scope of adaptive sports. By starting with the fundamental activity of running, we aim to empower individuals with prosthetics to gain con dence and actively engage in sports. This project speci cally targets Asian countries, with an initial focus on Thailand, where we will work to overcome barriers to participation in para sports by conducting the following activities: 1. workshops for fi fi prosthetists, 2. training sessions for elite para-athletes, and 3. running clinics for beginners.

Workshop for Prosthetists(POs) Projec t Over view Target Audience: Prosthetists, prosthetics students, etc. Content: This workshop covers techniques for crafting and adjusting sports prosthetics, such as alignment adjustments, and shares the latest knowledge and skills to support prosthetic users in running comfortably with optimal prosthetics. Coaches and athletes from Thailandʼs national para athletics team will also be invited, fostering mutual learning between Thailand and Japan. Training Sessions for Top Para Athletes Target Audience: Physical therapists, coaches, para-athletes, etc. Content: Running training for athletes using sports prosthetics. We will invite athletes from Thailand and surrounding countries, as well as coaches from Japan, to learn and exchange training techniques that enhance running speed through hands-on practice. Running Clinic Target Audience: Prosthetic users, prosthetists, physical therapists, coaches, prosthetics students Content: This clinic provides technical guidance and training methods for running with sports prosthetics, supporting participants from foundational skills to advanced techniques so they can feel con dent in running.
