Journal Title: Quality in Sport - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The main objective of the paper is to present the individual, social and organizational determinants of sport for people with disabilities from a sociological perspective. In the article I explained how professional sports can affect the lives of disabled physically people. I focused on the multi-dimensional socio-cultural context. Referring to the individual experience of disabled athletes and the people around them, I have reconstructed the character and scope of the impact of physical activity and sport in the life of disabled person. The article based on a synthesis of three levels: general social, local and individual, which can be distinguished on the basis of research and analysis of empirical material. The conclusions are based on qualitative data gained using unstructured interviews and observation techniques. Analysis and interpretation of the empirical material is carried out according to the methodology of grounded theory. Głównym celem artykułu jest prezentacja indywidualnych, społecznych i organizacyjnych uwarunkowań uprawiania sportu przez osoby niepełnosprawne ujęta z perspektywy socjologicznej. W artykule staram się wyjaśnić, w jaki sposób sport wyczynowy może wpływać na życie osób niesprawnych fizycznie, co czynię z uwagi na socjologiczny charakter artykułu, koncentruję się na wielowymiarowym kontekście społeczno-kulturowym. Na tej podstawie, odwołując się do indywidualnych doświadczeń niepełnosprawnych sportowców oraz osób z ich najbliższego otoczenia, zrekonstruowany zostanie charakter oraz zakres wpływu aktywności fizycznej i uprawiania sportu na życie osoby niepełnosprawnej. Cały wywód opieram na syntezie trzech poziomów: ogólnospołecznego, lokalnego i indywidualnego, które można wydzielić na podstawie badań i analizy materiałów empirycznych. Prezentowane wnioski oparte zostały na danych jakościowych zdobytych za pomocą techniki wywiadu swobodnego mało ukierunkowanego oraz obserwacji. Analiza i interpretacja materiału badawczego prowadzona jest zgodnie z zasadami metodologii teorii ugruntowanej.
