International sports associations form an integral element of Olympic and Paralympic movements. Every Olympic sport is represented by its specific international sports federation. They aids in the administration of events of its game during Games. For a sport to become an Olympic sport an international sports federation must be recognized by the International Olympic Committee.
Likewise, an international sports association must be recognized as such by the International Paralympic Committee to permit its sport to become paralympic, however in this case, some Paralympic Sports are managed by a special commission of International Paralympic Committee which is as part of the World Para branding, for example track and field athletics for athletes with disabilities is overseen by the IPC itself, with the designation "World Para Athletics". Other Paralympic sport are also governed by the structure of the equivalent for the physically abled that is, for instance, the UCI oversees both able-bodied as well as paralympic cycling.
