Abstract

This cross-sectional study investigated the perception of life skills development among 90 young athletes with disabilities participating in individual and team sports, with an average age of 17.31 ± 1.35 years and an average practice time of 8.50 ± 5.38 months, including both genders (10 boys and 78 girls). The instruments used included a sociodemographic questionnaire in order to characterize the sample and the Life Skills in Sports Scale (P-LSSS) to assess life skills. Data analysis was conducted using Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, independent t-tests, and Pearson correlation (p <0.05). The results demonstrated a positive correlation between age and teamwork skills (r = 0.25), goal setting (r = 0.24) and social skills (r = 0.22). Male athletes scored higher in teamwork dimensions (p = 0.001), goal setting (p = 0.003), social skills (p =<0.001), problem-solving (p <0.001) and emotional skills (p = 0.005). Older athletes had higher scores in the teamwork subscale (p = 0.039). There was no significant difference (p <0.05) in relation to practice time. In conclusion, age and gender are associated with the development of life skills in participants in adapted sports.
