SILVA, Anselmo de Athayde Costa e et al. Esporte adaptado: abordagem sobre os fatores que influenciam a prática do esporte coletivo em cadeira de rodas. Rev. Bras. Educ. Fís. Esporte [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.04, pp.679-687. ISSN 1981-4690.

This paper gives rise a discussion about the complexity of wheelchair sports highlighting the reductionist way in wich the phenomenon has been defined over time. It is understood that this is a complex construct and therefore the approach for its understanding thought to be complex. We discussed various aspects related to the practice of sport for people with disabilities and how the studies should be conducted in this field. Although the sport has adapted positive effects on variables such as rehabilitation and social inclusion, this can’t be defined solely on these issues, but as a complex and comprehensive phenomenon.
