Evaluation of a sitting light volleyball intervention to adults with physical impairments: qualitative study using social-ecological model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study was a part of 16-week sitting light volleyball (SLVB) intervention program which examined the effects of the intervention on the physical and psychological attributes of adults with physical impairments (PWPI) in Hong Kong. Gaining a deeper understanding of the perceptions and experiences of PWPI in the SLVB intervention is critical to the development of SLVB as a physical activity and a sport. The aims of this study were (a) to assess participants' experiences of the intervention and (b) to examine the suitability and feasibility of SLVB intervention for PWPI.

Methods

Twenty participants (mean age = 53.52 years, standard deviation 9.02 years; 60% female; 25% with at least a college degree) participated in semi-structured interviews.
