目的：包括退伍军人在内的身体残疾人士参与体育活动的一个重要考虑因素是，存在充分参与的机会。充分参与可以理解为参与的数量和质量。本研究的目的是探讨的看法，一个高质量的PA经验的退伍军人与身体disability.Design：定性半结构化访谈进行了探讨的角度，一个高质量的PA experience.Method：18名退伍军人（15名男性，3名女性）与身体残疾，采用最大变异抽样参加访谈。访谈探讨了他们的PA经验，重点是探索参与者的角度来看，一个优质的PA经验。数据进行了分析，使用主题analysis.Results：两个首要的主题，高质量的经验和条件，使获得高质量的经验的元素，被确定。在高质量体验要素的总体主题内，确定了四个关键主题：团队凝聚力、挑战、发挥作用、独立性和选择。进一步确定了三个关键主题（物理和社会环境，和程序结构）内的总体主题的条件访问的质量experience.Conclusion：研究结果都支持和扩展以前的概念化的质量参与。他们提供了深入了解PA和退伍军人的质量上下文特定的理解。更广泛地说，这项研究有助于适应PA参与的文献，并提供了一个框架，旨在促进高质量的PA经验的从业人员。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Objectives: An important consideration for physical activity (PA) participation for individuals with a physical disability, including veterans, is that opportunities exist for full participation. Full participation can be understood as both the quantity and quality of participation. The objective of this study is to explore perceptions of a quality PA experience for military veterans with a physical disability.Design: Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore perspectives of a quality PA experience.Method: Eighteen veterans (15 men, 3 women) with a physical disability were recruited using maximum variation sampling to take part in interviews. The interviews explored their PA experiences, with a focus on exploring participants' perspective of a quality PA experience. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results: Two overarching themes, elements of a quality experience and conditions enabling access to a quality experience, were identified. Within the overarching theme of elements of a quality experience, four key themes were identified: group cohesion, challenge, having a role, and independence and choice. A further three key themes (the physical and social environments, and program structure) were identified within the overarching theme of conditions for accessing the quality experience.Conclusion: The findings both support and extend previous conceptualizations of quality participation. They provide insight into context-specific understandings of quality for PA and veterans. More broadly, the study contributes towards the literature on adapted PA participation, and provides a framework for practitioners aiming to foster quality PA experiences. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
