The primary objective of this study was to measure and quantify the current level of physical activity among persons with disability in Qatar. The secondary objective was to assess and analyze the duration of sedentary behavior among individuals with disability in Qatar.
This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study of persons with disability living in Qatar. The study period was from October 2020 to December 2021.
96 persons with disabilities participated in this study. They included individuals with amputations, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and other developmental impairments. Of the respondents, 56% were male and 64% were Qataris. Of the respondents, 61.5%said that they felt psychologically and emotionally better when engaging in physical activity, and this difference was statistically significant. 71% of all those who reported feeling physically good after sport, 65% said that they enjoyed the social aspects of sports. This corroborates the beneficial effects of exercise, sports, and physical activity in persons with all types of disabilities.
There was a definite impact on the emotional and physical well-being of those who participated in the physical activities. There was less participation in team activities and two-thirds preferred to exercise alone. However, their numbers were not statistically significant because of low enrollment in the study.
本研究的主要目的是测量和量化卡塔尔残疾人的当前身体活动水平。次要目的是评估和分析卡塔尔残疾人的久坐行为时长。
这是一项对生活在卡塔尔的残疾人进行的横断面流行病学研究。研究期间为2020年10月至2021年12月。
96名残疾人参与了本研究。他们包括截肢者、脊髓损伤者、脑瘫患者和其他发育障碍者。在受访者中，56%为男性，64%为卡塔尔人。在受访者中，61.5%表示进行体育活动时他们在心理和情绪上感觉更好，且这种差异具有统计学意义。在所有表示运动后身体感觉良好的人中，71%的人表示他们喜欢运动的社交方面。这证实了运动、体育活动和身体锻炼对各类残疾人的有益影响。
参与体育活动对参与者的情绪和身体健康有明确影响。团队活动参与较少，三分之二的人更喜欢独自锻炼。然而，由于研究招募人数较少，这些数字没有统计学意义。
