This paper proposes a theoretical framework for sports participation for people with disability.
It describes stages from health interventions to elite competition but reports no data or outcomes. There are no findings here to change your clinical practice.
What this paper is
This paper introduces the SPORTS Participation Framework, a theoretical model describing stages of sports engagement for people with disability. It presents no study methods, patient data, or outcome results, so there are no findings here to change your clinical practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat this framework as evidence that a specific intervention works. It is a conceptual model for organising sports pathways, not a trial result.
