Abstract

This review study examines strategies developed to increase the social integration of individuals with disabilities and enhance their participation in sports. The inclusion of people with disabilities in sport and physical activity represents a significant public health and social imperative. Through analysis of existing literature, this study synthesizes guidance to support individuals with disabilities in discovering their athletic potential and facilitating social integration. Research indicates that sports participation can enhance self-confidence and quality of life among individuals with disabilities while promoting social acceptance and strengthening interpersonal relationships. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of how sport can be utilized as a tool for disability inclusion. The literature demonstrates that engagement in sports activities contributes to improved physical and mental health outcomes while fostering a more inclusive social environment. Based on the reviewed evidence, developing and implementing strategies to ensure equitable participation of individuals with disabilities remains crucial. While societal support is essential for overcoming barriers to participation, this review aims to serve as a resource for advancing disability inclusion through sports engagement.
