| dc.description | The purpose of the study is to identify motives for athletes who are disabled to participate in sports. Hundred (n=100) respondents (60 male; 40 female), aged between 16 and 55 and who are wheelchair bound participated in this study. Close-ended questionnaire that tested five motives were distributed to the participants. They were: ask-oriented motives, socialintegration motives, fitness-oriented motives, ego-oriented motives and social-affective motives. The SPSS version 5 was used to analyse data. Descriptive statistical method to obtain mean and the standard deviation and independent T-test showed no significant difference in motives factors among the male and the female athletes (p =.091; p?0.05). There were no significant differences on both gender perceived fitness-oriented motives (p =.697; p>0.05) and social-affective motives (p=.124; p>0.05) and task-oriented motives (p=.895; p>0.05) as the main factors for participation. However, there were significant differences in social-integration motives (p=0.043; p<0.05) and ego-oriented motives (p=0.033; p<0.05). It is important to encourage sports participation among persons with disabilities and the facilities need to be disabled friendly. | |
