Sports-focused rehabilitation is one of the key initiatives the university has been implementing for nearly a year to support veterans. According to specialists, regular sports activities aid the development of various muscle groups, enhancing rehabilitation outcomes.

Every Wednesday, DSUIA hosts table tennis training sessions for veterans undergoing rehabilitation in local medical institutions. These sessions have become a tradition and are conducted under the guidance of Vasyl KOVAL, Ukraine's table tennis champion.

Table tennis is an ideal choice for these sessions due to its low risk of injury and significant benefits for the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This sport is particularly suitable for individuals with disabilities at DSUIA.

In addition to physical recovery, sports training contributes to social rehabilitation. Veteran athletes build connections with like-minded individuals, helping them avoid feelings of isolation.

These training sessions are part of the "Friendly Support" project initiated by the Department of Education, Science, and Sports of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
