Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the motives and barriers for practicing physical activity (PA) in visually impaired goalball players. 25 adults (32.7 ± 11.9 years) participated in this study, of which 14 were women (31.3 ± 12.0 years) and 11 were men (34.4 ± 12.2 years). All participants had Federal license in force issued by the Spanish Federation of Sports for the Blind. Participants completed the Motives and Barriers to Physical Activity and Sport (MBAFD) questionnaire. The main reasons for practicing PA were related to the pleasure for the activity and the produced positive feelings. Most of the items related with the reasons for doing PA and sport obtained a high score. The lack of adapted physical activities and the lack of nearby spaces to practice PA were the most prominent barriers for doing PA and sport. It should be noted that the barriers received mostly a low or very low score (< 1.2 ± 1.3). Except in very specific items, no significant differences were obtained according to sex, the origin of the disability or years of experience in the practice of other sports modalities prior to the practice of goalball. This may be due to the fact that the participants in study were visually impaired goalball players, thus conditioning the results obtained.
