“…The tool that has widely used to evaluate the quality of services is the Servqual's model, which based on the evaluation of 5 service dimensions including feelings are trust, accountability, confidence, and empathy (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1988). Among the target markets, audiences of organizations, including federations, groups, teams, and clubs, are consumers of sports services, which encourages the current audience and consumers to attend more often than their essential goals (Fitzgerald & Kirk, 2009;Makhov, Stepanova, Shmeleva, Petrova, & Dubrovinskay, 2015). Some groups including disabled and individual patients require special attention and different perspectives, (Makhov et al, 2015).…”

Therefore, to attract more disabled people and individual patients to sports, those in charge (welfare, delegations) should pay serious attention to games in this section of society, to witness the colorful presence of this section of society in the national arena and be international.…”

“…Anyway, in the twenty-first century, an opinion prevailed that "the Down syndrome is not a disease but a genetic deviation and that people with Down syndrome are not ill and do not "suffer" from this condition" (Down's Syndrome Association, 2014/15, 2). However, due to deviations in their health, for such people, especially children with Down syndrome, the problems of rehabilitation and social adaptation, especially by means of adaptive physical culture and sports (Makhov et al, 2015;Makhov & Zubenko, 2017), still remain burning issues (Petrova, 2015).…”

In the framework of cooperation undertaken by the Russian State Social University and the Downside Up Charitable Foundation, a research group, with support of FIFA's social program "Football for Hope", has been implementing since 2015 an experiment for teaching Down syndrome children to play mini football. The object of the comprehensive study is development of Down syndrome children engaged in playing mini football. The subjects of the comprehensive study are: the impact of mini football sessions on the improvement of Down syndrome children's physical assets; the impact of mini football sessions on the children's morpho-functional indicators; the technical instruction of the Down syndrome children playing mini football; and physical rehabilitation of the Down syndrome children by means of adaptive sports, such as mini football. The first stage of experiment is teaching the elements of playing mini football. The following results were obtained: primary skills of ball control; positive dynamics both in physical and psychic development of children; increased working capacity; improved mental concentration and improved memory. At the second stage of the experiment, work continues on improving the acquired skills in compliance with the authors' experimental model; also, practical recommendations are elaborated for using the approved methods of teaching in other regions of Russia.

“…It is evident that the presence of sports facilities is associated with participation in physical activity (Sáa et al, 2012;Sang et al, 2016). Commonly sports facilities have been found to have lots of disadvantages such as, poor quality of sports equipment, lack of ramps, racks, handrails, lifts, signs, and facilities/equipment for people with eyesight and hearing disabilities, and difficult access of disabled people to sports grounds, public areas and the audience (Grady & James, 2013;Makhov, Stepanova, Shmeleva, Petrova, & Dubrovinskaya, 2015). These evidences show that PwD are unequally treated in terms of sports facilities" accessibility; moreover, this is consistent with a survey of English Federation of Disability Sports (EFDS) in 2013 found that 70% of people with disabilities would prefer to be more active, but they are often thwarted by problems of access (Burki, 2015).…”

More than a billion people are estimated to live with some form of disability, or about 15% of the world’s population and the number is still growing. People with disabilities are less likely to participate in sports due to several physical barriers they face. In an effort to find ways to increase the sports participation rate of people with disabilities, the concept of marketing (satisfaction, word-of-mouth intention, and re-participation intention) was applied to the field of accessibility for the first time. This study consisted of three objectives: (1) to find out the dimension of sports facilities’ accessibility and motivation, (2) to examine the effect of sports facilities’ accessibility on word-of-mouth and re-participation intentions through satisfaction, and (3) to explore the effect of motivation on re-participation intention. Data were collected from 330 athletes with physical disabilities in 22 disability sports events. Factor analysis revealed seven dimensions of sports facilities’ accessibility and three dimensions of motivation. Structural equation model (SEM) findings demonstrated that sports facilities’ accessibility significantly influenced both word-of-mouth and re-participation intentions through satisfaction, and motivation had a direct effect on re-participation intention. The results of this study broadened the knowledge in the field which later leads to better management and performance of sports facilities, particularly for athletes/people with physical disabilities.
