“…Additionally, it is noted that the use of prosthetics, susceptibility to infectious diseases associated with disability, and difficulties in limb mobility further hinder individuals' participation in sports. Consistent with existing literature, various structural factors including transportation, economic resources, and inadequate facilities have been highlighted as significant barriers to sports participation among disabled individuals (Esatbeyoğlu and Karahan, 2014;Durmuş and Sarol, 2023;Kumcağız and Çayır, 2018;Murphy et al, 2008;Caracci, 2019;Columna et al, 2017;Shields and Synnot, 2016).…”

“…It is observed that besides the barriers encountered by physically disabled individuals in many areas of life, they also encounter various inhibiting factors in the field of sports . A review of the literature reveals several such impediments, including transportation challenges (Esatbeyoğlu and Karahan, 2014;Durmuş and Sarol, 2023;Kumcağız and Çayır, 2018;Küçük, 2024;Uzun et al, 2023), negative attitudes (Argan et al, 2021;Koçak et al, 2023), economic constraints (Murphy et al, 2008), health issues stemming from physical disabilities (Jaarsma et al, 2014a;Jaarsma et al, 2014b;Sarol, 2024), lack of energy (Jaarsma et al, 2015), and time constraints (McLoughlin et al, 2017). Moreover, inadequate training of trainers (Shields and Synnot, 2014;Ünlü et al, 2024), inappropriate facilities and equipment for disabled individuals (Caracci, 2019;Columna et al, 2017;Sarol, 2024;Shields and Synnot, 2016;Çeviker, 2017), and societal unawareness (Arnell et al, 2020;Ballas et al, 2022) have been identified as additional inhibiting factors affecting sports participation.…”
