Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore wheelchair athlete’s attitudes toward sport and identify various themes between those with high attitudes and those with low attitudes. Participants were from a local wheelchair basketball team in the Cardiff area and were purposefully sampled using a questionnaire to identify individuals that had high and low attitudes toward sport and their disability sport socialisation. These subjects were then invited to participate in a semi-structured interview regarding their influences into disability sport, what sport means to them and generally their overall attitude toward sport. The findings of this study can be potentially used as a framework to implement strategies into improving participation rates in non-active disabled populations.
