Development of Adapted Physical Activity at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University (1992–2025)

The aim of this paper is to trace the historical development of the field of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, between 1992 and 2025. The study situates the emergence of the field within its historical and legislative context and traces changes in accreditation, curricula, and student numbers. The paper also incorporates supplementary stakeholder perspectives and situates the programme within the international development of APA. The findings demonstrate a gradual professionalisation and systematisation of the field in response to societal and legislative changes.
