Introduction

• The appropriate quantity and quality of physical
  activity is one of the important factors which
  directly influence health, performance and
  rational daily routine. In the civilized society,
  negative consequences of changes in our life
  style need to be balanced by well performed
  physical stimulation. Spontaneous motoric and
  recreational physical activities, as well as
  purposeful sport exercises play their significant
  role in compensation of the lack of movement
  which is much more obvious nowadays then it was
  in the past.

Primary goal

• To provide an opportunity for deaf pupils to
  perform cyclotourism, which has not only
  educational and social function but also its
  health supporting and regeneration input.
• We proclaim that it is crucial to integrate as
  many children as possible into the regular sport
  activity with efficient ballast and frequency.
• Even one of such activity can be of the real
  importance for the cardiovascular condition,
  formation of morale and volitional traits, for
  the regeneration of mental and physical
  potential, and for the prevention against
  civilization or nonspecific diseases, as well as
  in effective utilization of leisure time.
• By now, our activities have been limited because
  of the lack of financial resources from which we
  could buy bikes for the children from socially
  lower class, and so out of the whole number of
  pupils of Special basic school of Viliam Gano
  and DeD Maurícius only a few of them can
  participate in this sport.
