This is data from a adapted version of a questionnaire created by Fagher et al. (2019). The original questionnaire focused on judo-related injuries experienced by judo athletes with visual impairment and other paralympic sports. Participants were asked to provide the same demographic information as in the original: age, gender, weight class, hours of training a week and participation in other sports. However, while the original instrument asks about participants’ degree of visual impairment, in this case they were asked to indicate their ability level classification in accordance with the levels established by the Special Olympics for judo competitions for people with ID (Special Olympics, 2022), see table 1. An additional question was added to indicate whether the questionnaire had been completed by the solely by the athlete or if assistance had been provided by guardians, coaches, or other caregivers.In addition to the demographic information, participants were asked whether they had experienced injuries that had affected their normal training or competition regimen over the past year, regardless of whether the injury had led to missed training time or competitions. If participants answered affirmatively, they were then asked questions about how much training time they had lost, the type of injury they had experienced, the mechanism of injury (standing technique or tachi waza, ground technique or ne waza, or other), the body part affected and the diagnosis. In order to categorize the seriousness of the injuries in terms of time missed, this study followed the system recommended by the International Olympic Committee (Bahr et al., 2020), which establishes the following values: 0 days, 1 to 7 days, 8 to 28 days, or >28 days missed. The reported injuries were categorized using a matrix for classifying musculoskeletal diagnoses into body location, type of injury and diagnosis according to the 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) (World Health Organization, 2022).On some occasions, the questionnaire was administered in person via interviews conducted at the competitions held during the data collection period, while other participants completed the instrument via an online form. Data were entered into a spreadsheet for the purposes of statistical analysis.

This statistic presents the perspective of British adults on the influence of the performance of ParalympicGB athletes in the 2016 Palaympic Games on the public perception of disabled people in Great Britain. Responses have subsequently been categorized by the NRS social grade of the respondent.

The NRS social grades are a system of demographic classification used in the United Kingdom. The grades are grouped here into AB, C1, C2, and DE; these are taken to equate to upper middle class, lower middle class, skilled working class, working (and non-working) class, respectively.

When presented with two opposing statements, the largest share of respondents within each social grade indicated that their opinion more closely aligned with the statement that the performance of the British team at the 2016 Paralympics does influence people's perceptions of British disabled people. Within each of the AB; C1, and DE social grade groups the share of respondents that indicated as such was over ** percent, however, within the C2 social grade group the share of respondents that indicated as such was only ** percent with the remaining ** percent indicating that their opinion more closely aligned with the statement that the performance of the British team at the Paralympics does not make a difference to people's perceptions of British disabled people.

Abstract Aim: This study aimed to compare the quality of life perception among Boccia, Para-Athletics, and Wheelchair Tennis athletes. Methods: Eighty-six athletes with physical disabilities participated (Boccia = 41; Para Athletics = 14; Wheelchair Tennis = 31) in the study. The data were collected by applying the Brazilian Portuguese version of the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire and a short survey for demographics. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the relationship among the variables considering a confidence level of 95%. Results: Wheelchair Tennis athletes were older and Para-Athletics athletes were involved in this sport for a longer period. The majority of participants perceived positively their overall quality of life and health. Wheelchair Tennis athletes presented higher total quality of life perception scores in comparison to Boccia athletes. Regarding the specific domains of quality of life, Para-Athletics athletes presented higher scores in the psychological domain in comparison to Boccia and Wheelchair Tennis. Wheelchair Tennis presented higher social scores in comparison to Boccia and higher environment scores in comparison to Boccia and Para-Athletics. No differences were found in the physical domain in all groups. Conclusion: The evidence points to the influence of athletes’ demographics, the specific nuances of their impairments, and the Paralympic Sports practiced in perceiving the quality of life. Suggestions are made to further explore the factors that may influence the quality of life perception among Paralympic Sports athletes.
