“…Most of the studies reviewed were cross-sectional and compared disabled athletes with able-bodied athletes in one or more variables (64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70). Most of these comparisons, with one exception (70), concluded that disabled athletes show only slight, if any, deterioration in personality traits compared with ablebodied athletes.…”

This article reviews literature on the psychological benefits of sports for the disabled. Beginning with traditional models and resource development models of rehabilitation, an integrative model of sports for the disabled is suggested, emphasizing the concept of efficacy-based empowerment through sport. Empirical research is reviewed according to the conceptual categories of this model: (a) performance accomplishments and functional efficiency, (b) perceived self-efficacy, (c) self-concept and self-esteem, (d) personality disorders, mood states and locus of control and (e) activity level and social acceptance. This review suggests that most psychological constructs expressed within the empowerment model are positively affected by physical activity in disabled people, when applied properly. Several recommendations are outlined for beneficial application of the model in practice as well as for fu-I ture research topics.

“…In the current study, the six subscales and total scores for the POMS were established both pre-and posttest. POMS was used to measure mood states because previous POMS-related studies demonstrated superior outcomes of highly active athletes compared with those with a medium or low level of physical activity [28][29][30][31].…”

“…Previous POMS-related studies demonstrated superior outcomes for athletes compared with controls and for highly active athletes compared with those with a medium or low level of physical activity [28][29][30][31]. For instance, Martin et al reported that in comparison to Paralympic women basketball players who did not make the U.S. team, players who made it to the U.S. basketball team scored higher in vigor and lower in depressed mood [31].…”

People with severe physical disabilities may experience psychosocial problems. Boccia is one sport that athletes with severe disability can engage in, but no information on the effects of Boccia on psychosocial outcomes for participants with severe disability is available. Therefore, we analyzed the effects of Boccia on psychosocial outcomes in persons with severe disabilities. The study included two competitive Boccia groups: independent competitive (IC) (n = 9) and nonindependent competitive (NIC) (n = 7), as well as a recreational Boccia group (n = 14) and control subjects (n = 13) (mean age = 46.46 +/- 10.75). All participants underwent a rehabilitation program. Between-group differences in change scores were assessed using analysis of variance/multivariate analysis of variance. Within-group differences were compared using t-tests and effect sizes (ESs). Change in psychosocial parameters was not significantly influenced by study group (p > 0.05). All groups presented moderate-to-large ESs in physical and psychological quality of life (ES > 0.51). In comparison to the control group, who presented small-to-trivial ESs in General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Profile of Mood States-Tension, the IC and recreational group presented moderate ESs in GHQ-28, whereas the NIC group presented moderate ESs in anxiety and tension. In conclusion, the rehabilitation program had a general positive effect on the psychosocial status of individuals with severe physical disabilities. However, the competitive Boccia groups demonstrated a greater number of favorable changes, suggesting an added value of participation in Boccia.
