According to the "National Resource Center for Special Education" (CNREE 1990), the disabled person is anyone who presents, temporarily or permanently, some alteration in their locomotor, hearing or visual apparatus due to a deficient functioning in the system. bone-articular, muscular and/or nervous, etc…, and that, to some extent, limits some of the activities that other people can carry out, but not all (…) However, and for all disabled people, we can find a series of common adaptations (...) (Carlos Barnechea Álvarez, 2008, p.103)
Work should be done, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the degree of deficiency, on activities that improve:
1. The corporal scheme and laterality (improves with the DUNI)
2. The coordinations (improvement with the DUNI)
3. The balances (the DUNI improves the dynamic and postural adjustment)
4. The space-time organization (DUNO improves both topological relationships and speeds, distances, etc…)
5. Basic physical qualities (we have already mentioned that DUNI is a "sweet" aerobic sport (...))
6. Socialization (The DUNI played as a team makes sharing experiences, fellowship and enjoyment)
