Introduction

It is important for a human body to be physically active for health benefits. However, in recent years the levels of physical disability issues have globally risen, due to the fact, that there has been a major lack in the levels of recommended physical activities (Barnes, 1991, pp. 54). A major reason for proper physical and mental health is to achieve a good amount of physical activities, which improves internal and external fitness. In addition, the Para Olympic Games or Paralympics are the events of multidisciplinary sports involving disabled athletes from around the world (Brittain, 2010, pp. 6-95).

However the main features of this legacy is the probable and the most prospective improvement in the line of volunteers, however the pre-volunteer. However the pre-volunteers have their association with the commonwealth games of 2002, which involved the training along with the qualification of the pre-volunteer program as well. Even though the long term monitoring was the only point which was lacking, which eventually resulted in the glitch, and thus nobody has the exact number of volunteers who performed or participated, and moved into the permanent employment as a result of the performance in the volunteer program (Webster, 2000, pp. 123).

The two games occur two seasonal games take place two years apart from each other, providing entertainment for the public on a more consistent basis. The first modern Olympic Games were an outstanding success. Despite the fact that the Olympics took less than 250 athletes, the game has become the largest sporting event ever passed from the time of ancient Greece. Greek officials were so pleased that put forward ...
