Updated : 21/05/2024

The image is a colorful poster related to physical activity. It features several circles of different sizes and colors, each containing text or icons related to physical activity, such as a person in a wheelchair, weights, and a heart rate line. The larger text on the right-hand side of the poster reads “Adapted Physical Activity Manuals”. Below that title, there is information about the event at the ‘School of Sport of Rio Maior’ from 3.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Logos of various organizations, such as the INR and the Escola Superior de Desporto de Rio Maior, are also present in the footer of the poster.
