Community-based exercise programs for persons with disabilities often offer new providers (i.e., staff, volunteers, and students) specialized onboarding training. We aimed to identify the competency elements delivered in these trainings. Applying a competency-based lens, training materials (n = 94) from community-based exercise programs in Canada (n = 9) were analyzed to identify competency elements (i.e., knowledge, skills, and attitudes) taught to providers and differences in training content between provider types. The majority of training content focused on the provision of knowledge, with less attention to skills and attitudes training. Focusing on knowledge acquisition can leave providers without the capacity to apply the knowledge they have attained in real-time situations. Staff training was oriented toward disability-specific content, while volunteer and student training focused more on general and program-specific content. Findings informed the development of disability-specific competencies for qualified exercise professionals in community exercise settings.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144985306","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 aimed to understand the perceptions and lived experiences of exercisers with visual impairments (EVI) who participated in an adapted group exercise program (AGEP) and to identify the perceived barriers and facilitators to exercise participation among EVI in both AGEP and non-AGEP settings. Thematic analysis of focus-group interviews with nine EVI identified four themes; therein, participants described meaningful facilitators in AGEP (i.e., accessible instruction, accessible support, and socialization). However, they also reported barriers in both non-AGEP (i.e., inaccessible instruction, activity exclusion) and AGEP (i.e., untrained support staff) settings. These findings underscore the need for collaborative efforts between EVI and program staff to create supportive physical activity environments in both AGEP and non-AGEP settings. Future research could seek to explore this coproduction process to foster greater inclusivity for EVI.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144985682","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}

Outcome measures included the Basketball Self-Efficacy Scale, Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), and the Trait Sport-Confidence Inventory. T tests were performed to explore differences between groups. Results revealed significant differences in TEOSQ scores between classifications: High pointers (International Wheelchair Basketball Federation [IWBF] 4-4.5) had higher ego-orientation scores than low pointers (IWBF 1-1.5). Males had higher self-efficacy scores than females. Less-experienced athletes showed higher task-orientation scores. Pearson correlation tests revealed a strong negative correlation between TEOSQ and age and a moderate negative correlation between TEOSQ and experience. The findings provide insights into psychological performance determinants in wheelchair basketball players, offering a foundation for targeted coaching practices aimed at enhancing athletic performance.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144985705","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}

In the current study, a conceptual model derived from extant literature was utilized to examine how perceived barriers, attitude, subjective norm, and self-efficacy are associated with intention and action of PA for people with disabilities. We recruited 371 adults (male = 215; female = 154; unidentified = 1; Mage = 53.20 ± 11.52 yr) with various physical disabilities. Structural equation modeling indicated that subjective norm, attitude, personal efficacy, environmental efficacy, and intention were positively associated with health actions, whereas internal, interpersonal, and environmental barriers showed negative associations. Internal and interpersonal barriers showed associations with lower motivation through self-efficacy and subjective norm, while environmental barriers were associated with diminished volitional processes through environmental efficacy. PA participation among individuals with disabilities appears to be shaped by different types of barriers and social cognitive variables across various stages of behavioral engagement. Limitations, practical implications, and future directions are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144805513","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}

We recruited five girls and women athletes with disabilities and six Para sport coaches to participate in semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed using a thematic narrative analysis. Using creative nonfiction, we present three composite vignettes to illustrate our participants' experiences and recommendations toward the promotion of girls and women with disabilities in sport. This exploratory study shines light on intersectional inequities experienced in sport (e.g., discriminatory coaching attitudes) but also the potential of sport toward supporting community and empowerment. Practical recommendations are offered to coaches, sport programmers, administrators, and policymakers in pursuit of creating positive and inclusive sport environments for girls and women with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586127","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}

Yet, little is known about the use of integrative interventions to meet the complex developmental needs of children aged 3-6 years. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an integrative universally designed intervention on children with and without disabilities' motor competency and proficiency. We selected children (N = 111; disability = 24; no disability = 87) to participate in either a school-based integrative motor intervention (n = 53) or a control condition (n = 58). Children in the integrative motor intervention both with and without disabilities showed significant improvement in motor competency and proficiency (p < .001) as compared with peers with and without disabilities in a control condition. Early childhood center directors (e.g., preschool and kindergarten) should consider implementing integrative universally designed interventions targeting multiple aspects of motor development to remediate delays in children with and without disabilities.","PeriodicalId":520545,"journal":{"name":"Adapted physical activity quarterly : APAQ","volume":" ","pages":"179-196"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39621247","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}
