Mechanisms and Pathways of Sports in Promoting Social Inclusion for People with Disabilities

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the role of sports as a significant medium for promoting social inclusion among people with disabilities, systematically analyzing its underlying mechanisms and implementation pathways. Through literature review, case studies, and theoretical construction, the research identifies four core mechanisms through which sports facilitate social inclusion: psychological empowerment, social capital accumulation, capacity development, and cultural identity formation. Furthermore, the study proposes a multi-level implementation framework, including policy support systems, inclusive sports environment development, professional service provision, and media advocacy. The findings provide theoretical and practical guidance for policymakers, social organizations, and practitioners in designing sports-based interventions to enhance social inclusion for people with disabilities.
