“…The second line addresses spectatorship and support of adaptive sport; this research focuses on the viewership of sport and its organizational structure (e.g. [33][34][35][36]). The third and most pertinent line to our research focuses on the impact of adaptive sport on the participants.…”

This result indicates that a substantial economic benefit would result from increased participation in adaptive sport, and therefore may justify additional funding to expand adaptive sport programs. Implications for Rehabilitation Employment rates are very low among individuals with physical disabilities, despite research indicating extensive benefits from employment. Participation in adaptive sport is associated with a higher likelihood of employment. Efforts to increase participation in adaptive sport could have a large economic benefit.

“…According to Byon et al (2010), who test the usefulness of MSSC by examining spectators' motivation to attend wheelchair rugby events (Byon et al, 2010), Cottingham et al's (2014) study is the only one to identify the unique context of disabled sport. Given the unique and singular rationale of disabled sport, Cottingham et al conclude that discussions with practitioners are needed to better understand consumer behavior in the context of disabled sport.…”

“…Inspiration, another dominant original variable, is defined as "an external experience that upon being internalized leads to behavior change" (Thrash and Elliott, 2003). Cottingham et al (2014) adopt these two variables in their scale and make an understandable contribution to the disabled sport literature.…”

“…Nevertheless, they emphasize the need to apply the MSDSC to various settings to validate and improve the scale. Importantly, Cottingham et al (2014) state that knowing the factors that motivate disability sport spectators is not enough. For the MSDSC to be an effective marketing tool, both practitioners and researchers must better understand ways to increase the market share of disabled sport by, for example, conducting an additional statistical test that uses a dependent variable or accounts for moderating effects.…”

Paralympic games, whether citizens will watch the Paralympic games at sport facilities remains to be determined. Increasing the number of spectators and supporters is critical to attract new sponsors and gain additional revenue. The objectives of this study are twofold. First, it reveals spectators' demographic attributes and, second, using the Motivational Scale for Disability Sport Consumption (MSDSC), it tests for moderating effects on future intentions to spectate the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Paralympic Games. Researchers distributed questionnaires to spectators who attended the 46th Japan Wheelchair Basketball Championship Emperor's Cup on May 19, 2018 (499 valid samples) and May 20, 2018 (487 valid samples). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) eliminated two items from the model. Next, a multiple regression analysis is conducted to test the relationship between spectator motivation and intention to attend a mega sporting event. The results highlight that there is a considerable difference in the effect of the three moderator variables. In conclusion, it is imperative for practitioners to inform spectators about the uniqueness and singularity of wheelchair basketball.
