In the students opinion, the Paralympic Sport is a relevant content in their professional training and practical experience is an important part in their learning. It is expected that further research is conducted in order to characterize the approach of Paralympic Sport in Physical Education courses, from observing lessons or showing new extracurricular alternatives to complement the discussions held in the disciplines.
