Patients with Down syndrome participate in traditional Iranian sport of "Varzesh-e Zurkhaneh"

"Varzesh-e Zurkhaneh" is one of the oldest forms of martial arts, dating back several thousand years. The place where the competitions are held is called Zurkhaneh, which means "house of strength", and the people who practice this sport are known as "champions".

The rules of varzesh-e zurkhaneh were registered by Iran in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in November 2010.

This sport has a strong rehabilitative effect on people with Down syndrome, promoting their physical and mental development.
