For the current research, the focus is on adults with locomotor disabilities, adults that practice a certain sporting activity, having as objective undergoing a sociological research regarding the role of motivation in the sporting activity and the reasons for which adults with disabilities practice a sport in the first place. The research has been done on a number of 30 people with diverse disabilities and as a research method one has used a questionnaire that identifies the role of motivation in practicing a certain sport in adults with locomotor disability and a scale of motivation in sport. Adults with locomotor disabilities who practice a certain sport are intrinsically motivated in the sporting activity.
