Abstract

This pilot study explored the effect that an introduction to wheelchair sports would exert on attitudes and motivation toward leisure in a sample of adults with spinal cord injury. Individuals were tested using the Leisure Attitude Measurement (LAM) and the Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS) both before and after participating in a wheelchair sports program. Camp participants were demographically matched with a control group of persons who did not participate in a sports camp during the testing sessions. No significance was detected in within-group comparisons but high effect size and power on subscales of the LMS suggest a need for further studies. The experimental group, however, had significantly lower scores in stimulus avoidance as a leisure motivator which emphasizes the importance of social interaction in sports participation.
