Samenvatting

Slechts een op de drie mensen met een lichamelijke beperking sport regelmatig, terwijl tweederde van de mensen zonder lichamelijke beperking actief is in sport. Dit verschil is spijtig omdat sportdeelname juist ook voor mensen met een lichamelijke beperking vele gezondheidsvoordelen heeft, zoals een verminderde kans op hart- en vaatziekten en overgewicht.
Om sportdeelname van mensen met een lichamelijke beperking te stimuleren, is het belangrijk te achterhalen waarom zij niet sporten, om vervolgens gerichte adviezen en maatregelen te nemen. Uit door ons uitgevoerde onderzoeken bij verschillende groepen mensen met een lichamelijke beperking, zowel sportende als niet sportende mensen, blijkt dat stimulansen vooral plezier en gezondheid zijn, naast steun vanuit de omgeving en sociale contacten. Belemmeringen om te sporten zijn vaak gerelateerd aan de onderliggende beperking of zijn van logistieke aard (sportfaciliteiten, transport, etc). Om mensen met een lichamelijke beperking meer te laten sporten moeten ze inzien en bij voorkeur ook ervaren hoe goed en leuk sporten kan zijn. Sport is een onderdeel van de revalidatiebehandeling en het revalidatieteam helpt mensen door informatie te geven over verschillende sportmogelijkheden en helpt bij het zoeken naar een geschikte sport. Ook de politiek zal haar verantwoordelijkheid voor het verbeteren van de gehandicaptensport moeten nemen door betere sportcondities te creëren, zoals het verbeteren van de sportfaciliteiten en transport en vergoedingen voor sporthulpmiddelen. Gemeentes zouden sportclubs moeten stimuleren om mensen met en zonder lichamelijke beperking samen te laten sporten. Want sport is er voor iedereen.

abstract = "Only one-third of people with physical disabilities regularly participate in sports, compared to two-thirds of people without physical disabilities. Benefits of sports participation for people with physical disabilities include reducing chances of heart disease and obesity. In order to try to increase sports participation for people with physical disabilities, it is important to understand what withholds them from sports and how they can be stimulated to become active in sports. Results from this research amongst active and inactive people with a physical disability show that facilitators are fun and health, as well as support from family and friends and social contacts. Barriers are mostly related to the underlying disability or related to environment such as adaptation of facilities or lack of transport. In order to increase sports participation of people with physical disabilities, they have to see and experience how much fun sports are and how they physically benefit from sports. Sports is part of the rehabilitation process and rehabilitation professionals help to get people motivated by providing information about possibilities of disability sports or other suitable sports. Politics should also take responsibility for improving disability sports by enhancing infrastructure and providing funding for assistive (sport) devices. Municipalities have to integrate sports clubs for people with and without physical disabilities, to increase sports possibilities for people with physical disabilities.
