III International Congress on Health and Sport Sciences

October 2022
Iker Garate (Department of Physical and Sports Education of the University of the Basque Country), presented the poster  Diferencias en los motivos y barreras para la práctica de actividad física en mujeres en función del tipo de discapacidad, a work carried out with Cristina Granados, Aitor Iturricastillo and Javier Yanci (Society, Sports and Physical Exercise Research Group (GIKAFIT) of the University of the Basque Country), Jon Mikel Picabea and Josu Askondo (Department of Physical and Sports Education of the University of the Basque Country); and Sheila Romero, coordinator of the research area of GaituzSport.
 
The purpose of the poster was to analyse the differences in the reasons and barriers to physical activity practice in women depending on the type of disability, reaching the conclusion that when offering physical activity programmes for women with disabilities, the following should be taken into account:
– Women with visual impairment may perceive more barriers in their environment and have more reasons for enjoyment and leisure when it comes to physical activity.
– Women with physical disabilities and intellectual disabilities may perceive more intrinsic barriers and their motives for physical activity may be more health-related.

III International Congress on Health and Sport Sciences

October 2022

Josu Askondo (Department of Physical and Sports Education of the University of the Basque Country), presented the poster Relación entre el porcentaje de discapacidad y los motivos y barreras para la práctica de actividad física en adultos con discapacidad visual, work carried out with Cristina Granados, Aitor Iturricastillo and Javier Yanci (Society, Sports and Physical Exercise Research Group (GIKAFIT) of the University of the Basque Country), Jon Mikel Picabea and Iker Garate (Department of Physical and Sports Education of the University of the Basque Country); and Sheila Romero, coordinator of the research area of GaituzSport.

The purpose of the poster was to analyse the relationship between the percentage of disability and the reasons and perceived barriers to physical activity in adults with visual impairment, concluding that the percentage of disability does not seem to affect the perception of barriers to physical activity in the participants of the study. However, it does seem to be associated with a greater perception of doing physical activity to eliminate stress and out of obligation.

III International Congress on Health and Sport Sciences

October 2022

Jon Mikel Picabea (Department of Physical and Sports Education of the University of the Basque Country), presented the poster Relación entre la edad y los motivos y barreras para la práctica de actividad física en adultos con discapacidad, a work carried out with Cristina Granados, Aitor Iturricastillo and Javier Yanci (Society, Sports and Physical Exercise Research Group (GIKAFIT) of the University of the Basque Country), Josu Ascondo and Iker Garate (Department of Physical and Sports Education of the University of the Basque Country); and Sheila Romero, coordinator of the research area of GaituzSport.

The aim of the poster was to analyse the relationship between age and the motives and barriers to the practice of PA by adults with disabilities, showing that there is a relationship between age and some barriers and motives for the practice of physical activity in participants with disabilities, and observing that the greatest barriers are related to age itself, childcare and household chores, while the greatest motivators are the improvement of health, spending time with a partner and sharing activities with children.

Given the benefits of surfing for everyone, there are also modalities and actions adapted so that people with disabilities can enjoy this sport freely and like the rest of the population without disabilities. This communication has shown the support resources carried out within the FederArte festival held on 5 beaches in Gipuzkoa in 2019, showing that full inclusion can also be carried out in a sport that takes place in a natural context.
