Which is a valid example of adapting rules to support mobility-impaired participants?

• A. Keep all rules unchanged for uniform challenge.
• B. Modify goals and rules to align with abilities while maintaining game integrity.
• C. Remove all safety rules.
• D. Require athletes to perform at the highest possible intensity.

Answer: (B)

Adapting rules to support mobility-impaired participants means reshaping the game’s structure so participation is possible without compromising safety or fairness. The best approach is to modify goals and rules to align with abilities while maintaining game integrity. This keeps the essential competitive spirit while removing unnecessary barriers—examples include adjusting targets, field size, permitted assists, or pacing so the activity remains meaningful and safe for everyone involved.

Keeping all rules unchanged creates barriers and excludes players with mobility limitations. Removing safety rules trades safety for participation, which is unacceptable. Requiring athletes to perform at the highest possible intensity ignores individual ability and undermines inclusive practice.
