Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of barriers and facilitators for the practice of physical activity (PA) in people with disabilities. This study involved 23 adults (30.35 ± 10.82 years) with intellectual disability (ID) and cerebral palsy (CP) who trained and competed assiduously in a football team of the Genuine League. To analyze the perceived barriers and facilitators, the participants completed the Motives and Barriers to Physical Activity and Sports questionnaire (MBPAS). The results of this study show that the biggest barriers when practicing PA are laziness and not feeling comfortable with their body. It should be noted that all barriers received a very low score (<0.74 ± 1.18). Regarding the facilitators, the most punctuated ones were performing PA for fun and to feel good with themselves. Most of the items on the facilitators received a high score. In view of the results obtained, it could be interesting to promote a PA practice where tasks are based in the group, in being playful and oriented to health and well-being. However, the fact that the participants were people with disabilities assiduously practicing a team sport and with broad experience, has been able to condition the low score of the barriers in most of the items.
