The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of leisure sport participation characteristics on
physical self-perception in people with disabilities. First, people with physical disabilities and brain lesions
had higher perception of sport competency and muscular strength as they participated in club activities
more and a longer time, and did exercise more intensively and frequently. Second, people with physical
disabilities and brain lesions had higher perception of positive wellbeing, individual improvement, autonomy,
and purpose of life as they did exercise more intensively and frequently, and participated in the activities a
longer time. Third, in addition, exercise intensity and frequency revealed higher influence on psychological
wellbeing in common significantly. It was found that the physical self-perception is high when exercise
intensity and frequency are high and when the period of participation is over 6 years and that the
psychological wellbeing is high when exercise intensity and frequency are high.
