This study considers the theory of the body for practice of sport phenomenologically. It does not focus on the aspect of high competitiveness in modern sports but focuses instead on the practice of adapted sports which allows participation by more people. This study aims to expand the sphere of application concerning the theory of the body by reconsidering the significance of the term ‘practice of sport’. Using the method of phenomenological consideration, that is, examining what arises from the practices of adapted sports from the phenomenological viewpoint of the human body, the study examines criticism against the phenomenological theory of the human body and clarifies the significance of distinguishing between ‘human body’ and ‘physical body’. To this end, the present study (1) examined the discussion on the theory of the body for practice of sport, (2) inquired into concepts related to the body in adapted sports, (3) considered the theory of the human body with regard to actual practices of adapted sports, and (4) proposed the theory of the ‘human body as meaning’ for the practice of sport. This study clarifies the following: (1) the relationship between sport and adapted sport, (2) the relationship between the body and ‘disabled body’, (3) ‘human body as meaning’ is to be the subject of the theory of the body for practice of sport. Participation in adapted sports enables individuals to realize and understand their abilities, which non-disabled people are generally unaware of. By phenomenologically distinguishing ‘the body’ and ‘physical body’, the boundary between ‘disabled body’ and ‘non-disabled body’ is relativized despite the possibility of them being classified based on medical or scientific criteria. Adapted sports, therefore, should be recognized as part of regular sports.
