Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design a model for the participation of disadvantaged athletes in the analysis of causative and deterrent factors using the psychological continuum model (pcm). The present study was descriptive in terms of its nature and purpose. The statistical population of this study includes all disabled people in sports federations, which numbered over 1,000 people, of whom 700 were men and 300 women were women. In order to select the sample group, 278 people were selected using simple random sampling method based on Morgan table. The sample was evaluated through a researcher-made mental relationship questionnaire (relationship psychology, exercise motivation, barriers and interference). The collected data were analyzed on two levels (descriptive statistics and inferential statistics). At the level of descriptive statistics, the mean and standard deviation were used and at the level of inferential statistics, the group hierarchy process analysis technique was used. The results show that the value of the index of fitting of the model is desirable, which indicates a strong fit of the research model. There is a positive and high correlation between participation aspects. Ratings and weights The factors contributing to the participation of athletes with disabilities are (socialization, self-esteem, health, excitement, skill, fitness, performance, entertainment, and business), as well as the ranking and weights of the participation of athletes with disabilities, respectively (mental constraints , Facility constraints, access restrictions, cost constraints, interpersonal constraints, interest restrictions, and time constraints).
