Exercise for special groups
We offer a wide range of adapted groups of different sports. These groups are intended for people who find it difficult to take part in the general sports and exercise groups due to a disability, an illness or other factor affecting their functional capacity. The objective for the diverse exercise activities is to maintain functional capacity and physical condition. The groups also serve as an important meeting place for the participants. The participants have the option to bring in their own assistant. The Espoo Sports and Exercise Services also organises exercise opportunities for special groups in cooperation with different associations and societies. Participation in these jointly arranged courses does not require joining the organisation in question.
