“…It makes sense that available local activities make it easier to be physically active, for example by reducing the need for transportation and time. The National Governing Body for Sport over the past 10 years has the experience that environmental factors are central in accommodating athletes with various disabilities (Sorensen & Kahrs, 2006). However, it should be taken into consideration that these findings are from a small country that has reasonable resources to spend on facilitating participation in sport for individuals with a disability.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine: (1) total physical activity and (2) the relative importance of functioning and disability, environmental and personal factors for total physical activity among young adults with a disability. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health developed by the World Health Organization was used as a structural framework for a cross-sectional survey, based on a questionnaire. The population studied was 327 young adults (age 18-30) with a disability who were members of interest organizations for persons with disabilities. Using an adapted version of the self-administered short form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the sample reported some differences in physical activity related to the type and the onset of disability. Linear regression analyses revealed that personal factors demonstrated more power in explaining the variance in physical activity than both the environmental factors and factors related to functioning and disability. As for the able-bodied, intrinsic motivation and identity as an active person were the factors most strongly associated with physical activity behavior. This should have important consequences for how professionals try to motivate people with disabilities for physical activity, and how they plan and implement rehabilitation.

“…Algunos ejemplos los podemos encontrar en una persona que se siente en una silla de ruedas para jugar al baloncesto, se ponga un antifaz para jugar a goalball, o use unas muletas para jugar al fútbol para personas con amputación. Esta forma de integración ha sido también denominada por algunos autores como integración inversa (Brasile, 1992;Sørensen, y Kahrs, 2006).…”

RESUMEN:El presente ensayo pretende mostrar al lector los procesos inclusivos que en la actualidad se están dando en el ámbito del deporte adaptado. En una primera instancia, se aborda el concepto de inclusión, exponiendo las bases filosóficas y prácticas (incluso algunas legislativas) que sustentan la misma, ubicándolo en un modelo actual de consideración del usuario de actividades físicas y deportivas como ente que interactúa con las condiciones de práctica y los elementos que facilitan o dificultan la misma. En un segundo término, se aborda el proceso actual de inclusión para con las organizaciones de deporte adaptado, exponiendo algunas de las controversias derivadas de dicho proceso, especialmente en lo que se refiere a las clasificaciones funcionales, que perpetúan el discurso de las necesidades especiales. Finalizaremos con una propuesta de continuo de inclusión que matiza las posibilidades de práctica inclusiva y específica, pudiendo dar una respuesta más rica y variada a las necesidades del individuo; más allá de las dos caras opuestas de una misma moneda. Palabras clave: deporte paralímpico, discapacidad, integración. Inclusion in adapted sport: two sides of the same coinABSTRACT: This paper shows current inclusionprocesses in adapted sports. First, some aspects about inclusion are discussed from philosophical and practice perspectives, and its relationship with a functional and health-related model related physical activity and sport activities where client interacts with the personal and environment factors (facilitators and barriers). Second, current inclusion process in sport organizations is explained, exposing some of the disputes arising from this process, especially in regard to functional classifications and its relation with the special needs discourse. Finally, we propose a continuum for inclusion in physical activity and sports, from specific to full inclusion that offers more opportunities and ways of practice; more than two faces of the same coin. Keywords: paralympic sport, disability, integration.CARA A: ACERCA DE LA INCLUSIóN La Unión Europea se refiere a la inclusión social como un proceso que asegure que personas en riesgo de pobreza y exclusión social aumenten las oportunidades y los recursos necesarios para participar activamente en la vida económica, social y cultural, y de que a su vez, gocen de unas condiciones de vida y de

“…Internationally, Great Britain has been most active in this field, together with scholars from Australia and Ireland, seeking to develop sporting practices for people with disabilities, with significant consequences for the training system in terms of full participation by the athletes, overcoming the concept of sport adapted (Wilhite, Mushett, Goldenberg, Trader, 1997;Sherrill, 1998;Sorensen, Kahrs, 2006;Fitzgerald, 2009). Goodwin and Peers highlights that "mainstreaming, within a sport context, refers to the participation of all youth within sport programs designed for, and made up mostly of, those who do not experience disabilities" (2012,189).…”

In the first part, the study (through a pedagogical approach) outlines the theoretical characteristics of an inclusive coach, after clarifying the concept of inclusive sport. In the second part, the study present the data from a survey conducted on 70 Baskin (Integrated Basketball) coaches working with 53 Baskin clubs in Italy. Baskin is an inclusive sport in which people with disabilities (of various types) and people without disabilities play together in the same team, through a series of rules and roles that allow everyone to participate, based on the principles of accessibility and equal opportunities.Through a questionnaire for baskin coaches, the analysis focuses on the following topics: 1. Education; 2. Motivation and interest in working in the field of inclusive sports; 3. The skills of the inclusive coach; 4. Any training needs. The aim is to clarify which training, such as skills, must embrace an inclusive coach in order to provide an innovative university education.
