Abstract

Background

Disabled people are more likely to be physically inactive than non-disabled people, yet limited research has explored the types of physical activities that disabled people participate in.

Objectives

This study describes the types of physical activities that disabled people participate in, and compares activity frequency and duration to non-disabled people.

Methods

Using cross-sectional data from the 2018/19 Sport England Active Lives survey, participants were categorised into three groups (disability – substantial effect on daily activities; disability – non-substantial effect on daily activities; no disability), and activity types were grouped into 17 categories including athletic, leisure, and swimming. Chi-squared tests and multivariable linear regression were used to compare participation in each activity category across the sub-groups.

Results

Of 158,995 participants, 18% (n=29,057) had a disability that had a substantial effect on daily activities, 21% (n=33,004) had a disability with a non-substantial effect on daily activities, and 61% (n=96,934) had no disability. Leisure was the most frequently reported activity type and of longest duration (median (interquartile range) mins/day: disability – substantial effect on daily activities: 315 (120–700); disability – non-substantial effect on daily activities: 390 (180–750); no disability: 375 (165–750)). Whilst activity duration was typically higher among people with no disability, artistic activities and swimming were higher for people with a disability that had a substantial effect on daily activities.

Conclusions

Activity choices were similar among sub-groups, however participation rates and activity duration were typically lower among disabled people. Reducing inequalities in physical activity participation will require improved access, opportunities, and support.

残疾和非残疾成人的身体活动类型和持续时间。
背景:残障人士比非残障人士更有可能缺乏运动,但对残障人士参与的体育活动类型的研究有限。目的:本研究描述了残疾人参与的体育活动类型,并比较了活动频率和持续时间与非残疾人。方法:使用2018/19年英国体育积极生活调查的横截面数据,将参与者分为三组(残疾-对日常活动有重大影响;残疾-对日常活动无实质影响;无残疾),活动类型分为17类,包括运动、休闲和游泳。使用卡方检验和多变量线性回归来比较各组中每个活动类别的参与情况。结果:在158,995名参与者中,18% (n=29,057)患有对日常活动有重大影响的残疾,21% (n=33,004)患有对日常活动无重大影响的残疾,61% (n=96,934)没有残疾。休闲是最常见的活动类型,持续时间最长(中位数(四分位数范围)分钟/天;残疾-对日常活动的实质性影响:315 (120-700);残疾——对日常活动无实质性影响:390 (180-750);无残疾:375(165-750))。虽然没有残疾的人的活动时间通常更长,但对日常活动有重大影响的残疾人的艺术活动和游泳时间更长。结论:各亚组的运动选择相似,但残疾人的参与率和运动时间通常较低。减少身体活动参与方面的不平等将需要改善获取、机会和支持。
