Handcycling
Handcycling is a form of cycling that uses a hand-powered bicycle, allowing individuals to pedal with their arms instead of their legs. This adaptive sport is designed for people with disabilities, particularly those with lower limb impairments. Handcycles come in various designs, including recumbent and upright styles, and can be used for recreation, fitness, or competitive racing.
Participants in handcycling can enjoy the benefits of exercise, improved cardiovascular health, and increased upper body strength. Handcycling events are often included in adaptive sports competitions, such as the Paralympics, promoting inclusivity and providing opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills.
