This study examined the effects of physical activity(PA) on the quality of life (QOL) of athletes with disabilities using sport and health theory. We administered a paper-based field questionnaire to 118 athletes with disabilities and used structural equation modeling to analyze the mechanisms of physical self-esteem (PSE) and satisfaction with life (SWL) in the role of PA and QOL in athletes with disabilities. RESULTS: 1) PA still had a significant positive effect on the QOL of athletes with disabilities mediated by PSE (β = 0.206, p < .01,95 % CI = [0.11,0.306]); PA had a greater significant effect on QOL in athletes with disabilities when PSE and SWL were combined (β = 0.206, p < .01,95 % CI = [0.11,0.306]); 3) PSE and SWL have an indirect effect of 32.18 % in PA affecting QOL in athletes with disabilities. CONCLUSION: 1) PA significantly improves PSE, SWL, and QOL for people with disabilities; 2) PSE and SWL can not only play separate mediating roles in the process of PA influencing the QOL of athletes with disabilities, but they can also work together to exert a co-mediating effect. This provides a theoretical basis for PA to enhance QOL or improve mental health.
本研究运用运动与健康理论探讨了身体活动（PA）对残疾运动员生活质量（QOL）的影响。我们以残疾运动员为研究对象，发放纸质现场问卷 118 份，采用结构方程模型分析了身体自尊（PSE）和生活满意度（SWL）在 PA 与残疾运动员 QOL 关系中的作用机制。结果显示：1）PA 对残疾运动员 QOL 的正向影响仍然显著，PSE 在其中起中介作用（β=0.206，p<.01，95%CI=[0.11,0.306]）；2）当 PSE 和 SWL 同时存在时，PA 对残疾运动员 QOL 的影响更大（β=0.206，p<.01，95%CI=[0.11,0.306]）；3）PSE 和 SWL 在 PA 对残疾运动员 QOL 的影响中具有 32.18%的间接效应。结论：1）PA 显著提高了残疾运动员的 PSE、SWL 和 QOL；2）PSE 和 SWL 不仅可以在 PA 影响残疾运动员 QOL 的过程中发挥单独的中介作用，还可以共同发挥协同中介作用。这为 PA 提升 QOL 或改善心理健康提供了理论依据。
