People with visual impairment have greater difficulty in accessing physical activity and sport, and a lack of social interaction is also associated with a risk of exclusion. Work is currently being done to include people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport. However, there is a lack of studies examining the status and overall effectiveness of interventions in the pre- and post-COVID stage. This study aimed to provide solid evidence on the characteristics and effectiveness of interventions for the inclusion of people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport in order to address the need for dissemination on this topic. The bibliographic search was carried out with the words "Physical activity", "Physical exercise", "Sport", "Physical training", "visual disability", "visual impairment" and "inclusion" in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar from 2018 to 2021.The article selection process was according to the PRISMA protocol with a final selection of nine articles. The main results highlighted that the programmes improve the perception of people with disabilities, increase social skills and health and increase the social importance of people with disabilities in the social environment. Among the most generalised conclusions were the need for specialised training, the need for social inclusion and participation of people with visual impairment in their environments and increased physical activity.
视力障碍者在参与体育活动方面存在更大的困难，缺乏社交互动也会增加被排斥的风险。目前正在开展工作，通过体育活动让视力障碍者融入社会。然而，在新冠疫情前和疫情期间，缺乏关于这些干预措施的现状和整体效果的研究。本研究旨在提供有关通过体育活动使视力障碍者融入社会的干预措施的特征和效果的有力证据，以满足在这一主题上传播的需求。在 2018 年至 2021 年期间，使用“Physical activity”、“Physical exercise”、“Sport”、“Physical training”、“visual disability”、“visual impairment”和“inclusion”等词在 PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Google Scholar 数据库中进行了文献检索。文章筛选过程按照 PRISMA 协议进行，最终筛选出 9 篇文章。主要结果强调了这些方案改善了残疾人士的认知，提高了他们的社交技能和健康水平，并增加了残疾人士在社会环境中的社会重要性。最普遍的结论包括需要专门的培训、社会包容以及视力障碍者在其环境中的参与和增加体育活动。
