Ten WCBB players, with and without disabilities, participated in semistructured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Four themes were generated: (a) inclusion is about more than access and reverse integration, (b) inclusion promoted through the rules of WCBB, (c) a variety of competitions as pathways to inclusion, and (d) inclusion is dependent on diversity in coaching. While reverse integration was generally viewed as a positive mechanism for increasing participation, the findings demonstrate that access alone does not guarantee inclusive experiences. Instead, inclusion was experienced as a relational and identity-forming process, influenced by players' sense of belonging, value, and meaningful participation within WCBB environments. The findings identify practical opportunities to inform policy, coaching practice, and the continued growth of inclusive disability sport.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149122628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although Special Olympics responded to a call to action to improve this database, concerns about the reliability of available data still exist, especially regarding the \"Health Habits Interview\" within the health promotion discipline. Although designed to educate athletes about health behaviors, reduce concerns, reinforce good habits, and promote health education, questions about response validity from this survey remain. Applying Universal Design for Learning principles to health promotion components could improve self-reported health data by offering flexibility and choice. This viewpoint aims to highlight strategies to reduce repetitiveness and increase engagement for the Special Olympics athletes in self-reporting their health behaviors. Incorporating Universal Design for Learning could improve health promotion and reporting of self-reported health behaviors in people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and strengthen understanding of health in this population.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149122637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the effects of a virtual reality-based physical activity program with three immersion levels (non-, semi-, and fully immersive) on postural control and motor skills in children with DD. Twenty-four children with DD were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The 12-week program (twice/week and 60 min) used Action Floor, Xbox, and Oculus Quest 2. Postural stability and limits of stability were measured using the Balance System SD, and motor skills were assessed with the Test of Gross Motor Development-3. The experimental group showed greater improvement than the control group in gross motor skills (p < .05). In the limits of stability, within-group improvement was observed in the experimental group (p < .001). These findings suggest that a virtual reality-based physical activity program using multiple immersion levels may enhance the limits of stability and motor skills in children with DD.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149122614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixteen children with autism were observed through video analysis of 111 sessions led by coaches trained in autism. Engagement and social interaction were coded using a structured observational system to describe variability across participants and game contexts. Overall, children with autism tended to display predominantly positive interactions during the sessions. Although they interacted more frequently with coaches than with peers, their peer-directed interactions were nonetheless generally positive. Distinct interaction and engagement profiles were identified, highlighting inter- and intraindividual variability across sessions. Spearman correlation analyses indicated that nonengagement duration was positively associated with negative social interaction (r = .346, p = .036) and negatively associated with positive social interaction (r = -.512, p = .001). These exploratory findings suggest that adapted and inclusive sports may represent a promising context for promoting social interactions and engagement in children with autism.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149122663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Foucauldian discourse analysis examined the representation (or silencing) of disability on 20 accredited Canadian kinesiology program websites. Four themes, each articulating a discursive strategy displayed at the university, program, and curricular levels, were identified: (a) governing through absence-the active production of invisibility, (b) strategic containment-symbolic inclusion and compartmentalization, (c) the optimization imperative-from excellence to rehabilitation, and (d) counter-discourses-governmental instability or reproduction? Accredited Canadian kinesiology programs largely signal that disability and persons who experience disability do not belong within kinesiology programs. Indeed, the four discursive strategies function together to manage the contradiction between kinesiology's investment in the normate bodymind and universities' public commitment to inclusion. The authors close with suggestions that may enable kinesiology educators and administrators to intervene on how they discursively construct disability, contributing to a less marginalizing and exclusionary education system.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149122541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assessed the longitudinal impact of a contact-based educational intervention combining two methods of contact-indirect (theoretical teaching) and direct (adapted physical activity practice)-on intergroup anxiety and explicit social perceptions toward people with intellectual, psychological, or developmental disabilities. Thirty-nine undergraduate students took a teaching module on disability and completed assessments at four time points. The results revealed that intergroup anxiety significantly decreased following the combination of indirect and direct contact and remained reduced at the follow-up assessment. Higher levels of social contact, prior experience, and professional intention were associated with lower baseline anxiety, though they did not moderate the intervention's effect over time. Perceptions of people with intellectual, psychological, or developmental disabilities as warmer than competent remained stable from baseline to follow-up. These findings support the integration of adapted physical activity contact into training programs to reduce stigma among future education professionals.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149122535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional capacity was assessed using the Evaluation of Functionality in Disabled Population, measuring neuromuscular function, combined actions, acceleration, balance, and cardiorespiratory function. Men showed higher strength test scores. Significant differences emerged between CD and IMD groups in combined actions and balance, with CD outperforming IMD. In the walking test, CD participants demonstrated superior results compared with PD and IMD groups in distance covered, heart rate, stride length, and pace. This study confirmed gender and disability-specific differences in functional capacity, with men showing higher performance and PD and IMD groups presenting greater limitations. These findings highlight the need for evidence-based, tailored exercise interventions that address both gender and disability type, with the aim of improving functional autonomy.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148922595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
