Petanque is becoming increasingly popular among the veteran community of Ukraine. This sports game is an important means of physical and psychological rehabilitation, development of team interaction and organization of active leisure.
Petanque develops accuracy and coordination and is an effective instrument of supporting physical activity and psychological unloading.
Veterans of DSUIA are actively engaged in petanque: they have repeatedly taken part in competitions and won prize places at interregional and all-Ukrainian tournaments. This testifies to the high level of training, dedication to the cause and effectiveness of this game as a means of rehabilitation.
Such measures contribute to active rehabilitation and social adaptation of veterans, popularization of adaptive sports, formation of a healthy lifestyle and further integration of the defenders of Ukraine into civil society.
