The purpose of this study was to clarify the process that Ludwig Guttmann introduced sport into rehabilitation for patients with the spinal cord damage. This study referred an article from 'The Cord' magazine, published for well-being of the patients with that damage. As the director of the National Spinal Center in the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in 1944, Ludwig Guttmann developed an innovative rehabilitation, training abdominal muscles physically to accelerate dejection. Based on English daily leisure activity, sport was adapted as part of recreation for the patients as well. They were able to continue sport even after leaving the hospital and then acquire the skill of sports so that it was possible to compete with the able-bodied people, and the inclusion through sports was carried out. According to Ludwig Guttmann, archery was an ideal sport for the spinal cord damaged. Archery had showed good effects on developing muscles like abdominal. Moreover, they could interact with the able-bodied people through archery. The Stoke Mandeville Games started in commemoration of the special-made bus for the patients to the Stoke Mandeville Hospital on 29th July, 1948. The record of archery has been improved dramatically. Sports, archery especially, have changed gradually from mere rehabilitation to game.
