Description
People with disabilities in Chile face layered barriers to playing sport, from transport and cost to attitudes, and a survey mapped those barriers through a social-ecological lens. Fernando Munoz-Hinrichsen and co-authors ran that survey in this 2026 paper. The framework sorts barriers into personal, social, organizational, and policy levels.
Answers were compared by sex and by whether the person already practiced sport. Those who never start may face different walls from those who drop out, and the split shows where. Sport is a health right, not a luxury, for disabled people, yet participation lags everywhere. A level-by-level map tells ministries and clubs which wall to demolish first in the Chilean setting.
