The effect of the sporting physical activity on the psychological aspect of people with motor disability [10-18 years]

Abstract

This research provides an investigation of the influence that physical activity has on psychological well-being for 10-18-year-olds
with motor disabilities. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the research was conducted on one of those types: athletes.
Results suggest that this form of intervention is effective in increasing self-esteem, reducing anxiety, and improving emotional
well-being by helping to promote physical activity. Moreover, it promotes socializing and a feeling of achievement in turn
encouraging the mental state. This study describes a novel, sports-centered rehabilitation program in adolescents with mobility-
disability that afforded significant changes since sport participation increased strength and stamina. At the same time, by
encouraging physical activity, these programs also facilitate psychological development and well-being in those who participate.
The research has shown that there is a need for sport initiatives catered to the needs of this population, increasing their quality of
life, also encouraging greater social inclusion.
