Role of Practicing Motor Activities in the Level of Body Image Perceptions and the Level of Functional Abilities Confidence in Physically Disabled Adults.

Abstract

The current study aimed to discern the role of practicing movement activities in the level of body image perceptions and the level of functional abilities confidence in physically disabled males. Sample consisted of 68 disabled of whom 30 were active and 30 were inactive. Researchers have used the descriptive-analytic methods and they applied two scales, the body image concept scale and the functional abilities confidence scale. Results have indicated that the active disabled were statistically better (p≤5%) in the two scales than their inactive counterparts.
