“…Three key benefits identified by survey respondents were the opportunity for fun and increased enjoyment of life (X 60 =50), feelings of excitement accompanying mono-skiing and thus enriching their own life (X 60 =36), and the opportunity for building warm relationships with others while practicing it (X 60 =30). This is consistent with the findings of de Groot et al [7], who demonstrate the specific role and need for interaction with others in the physical activity of individuals with disability. Comparing these preferences with the findings of Hlaváčová's [12] survey suggests a possible social shift in the values sought.…”

“…The results of Sale [36] demonstrate that involvement in physical activities positively influences full participation in society, strengthens family integrity and significantly expands the scope of social contacts. This is a significant and sought-after benefit of physical activity for individuals with disability [7] in the context of the so-called inclusion -the highest degree of socialization of an individual, i.e. a kind of merging with the environment, equal inclusion in society [45].…”

Physical activities for individuals with disability contribute to improving motor skills and positively affect psychosocial areas of life. The mono-ski winter activity is currently experiencing a great development in our country. The aim of the study was to analyze the experiences of individuals with disability with selected aspects related to mono-skiing through the processing of quantitative data obtained via a questionnaire survey. The research sample consisted of 60 persons -participants of mono-ski courses at the Centre for Disabled Skiers in Janské Lázně. The results of the survey show that 76.6% of the respondents consider mono-skiing to be an important part of their lives. The three key benefits cited by respondents were 1) increased joy of life and the opportunity to have fun, 2) diversified life and feeling of excitement, and 3) establishing warm relationships with others. In addition to the above values, the main reasons leading to mono-skiing included enhancing psychological stability as a means of improving mental health. The study results also show that of the target group of post-injury individuals (21 individuals), 81% returned to skiing thanks to mono-skiing and the activity helped to maintain the level of their previous life. The results suggest that monoskiing contributes not only to the possibility of carrying out one's own physical activity, but also to improving psychological health, contact with others, and dedication to skiing even in the post-injury state. We present the findings of the analysis as initial outputs of a planned larger study that will aim to evaluate the impact of mono-skiing on the quality of life in individuals with disability involved in this activity.

“…For example, the Norwegian sports system has been established to promote deeper and more enjoyable participation in sports by specific groups (e.g., women, children, the elderly, and the disabled), thus providing lower barriers to participation and greater opportunities (Seippel and Belbo, 2021 ), which has resulted in more than 90% of young people already joining sports clubs (Bakken, 2017 ) and contribute to the goal of “sport-for-all”. At the same time, individual sports participation to be actively involved in the exercise, feel the sports can bring benefits to the participants, including a more muscular body and a healthy body (Groot et al, 2020 ), better social relationships (Weiss et al, 1996 ), more optimistic state of mind (Feng et al, 2007 ), etc., so as to improve people's life satisfaction and happiness.…”

As a result of the global pandemic, new awareness and perceptions of physical and mental health are changing. How to promote people's participation in sports to improve their physical fitness and how to increase their life satisfaction are urgent issues for attention. This study is aimed to discover the mechanisms that influence sports participation and life satisfaction among urban residents, focusing on the role of self-efficacy and motivation. A questionnaire survey on sports participation of Shanghai residents in China found that self-efficacy significantly and positively influenced sports participation; sports participation significantly and positively influenced life satisfaction; and motivation positively influenced sports participation and mediated between self-efficacy and sports participation, but sports participation did not mediate between self-efficacy and life satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to enhance people's self-confidence in sports participation and establish the concept of sports for all people, so as to strengthen people's motivation to participate in sports, and to guide people to exercise actively through national fitness, so that more people can be happy in sports.

“…Some sudden international and domestic political, economic, social and natural events may seriously interfere with or even hinder the normal operation of the event, making all the efforts of the event organizers go east. At present, the development of China's sports industry is slow, the degree of marketization is low, and there are many uncertain factors in the process of holding events [3,4]. Therefore, it is very necessary to take risk management measures during the operation of sports events, and risk evaluation is a very important part of risk management.…”

Aiming at the problems of poor average fitness, low-risk prediction accuracy, high mean square error, low-risk evaluation precision, and long average running time of traditional sports event model evaluation and prediction methods, a sports event model evaluation and prediction method using principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed. Sports event risk monitoring microbase is deployed by ZigBee technology, and sports event risk monitoring data is monitored and packaged at each base station. Optical fiber and Ethernet are used to transmit the data to the monitoring and management center to complete the risk data collection of sports events. After data standardization, the risk evaluation index system of sports events is constructed, and the comprehensive score of each risk index of sports events is obtained by using the PCA method. The BP neural network is improved by genetic algorithm (GA), and the comprehensive score of risk index is input into the network to obtain the evaluation and prediction results of sports event risk. The results show that the proposed method has good average fitness, the predicted value of sports event risk is almost equal to the actual value, the prediction mean square error is less than 0.15, the evaluation precision is high, and the average running time is only 8 s. The cost (time complexity) is low. Overall, the method has a good application prospect in the field of sports event evaluation and prediction.
