이 연구는 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 지체장애인의 생활체육 참여가 자신감 및 생활만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 규명하고, 장애인 생활체육에 대한 필요성과 의의를 환기시킴으로써 나아가 장애인 체육의 활성화에 기여 할 수 있도록 하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상자는 A시와 B도에 거주하는 장애인 생활체육 동호인 중 장애판정을 받은 지체장애인을 대상으로 연구자가 집락으로 추출된 장애인 복지 체육관, 직업 재활원, 동호인 클럽 등을 직접 방문하여 총 302명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 처리는 SPSS WIN Version 17.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 배경변인에 따른 분석을 위해서는 독립 t-test를 사용하였고, 생활체육 참여에 따른 자심감과 생활만족도를 알아보기 위해 일원변량분석(One-way ANOVA)을 사용하여 평균과 표준편차를 산출한 뒤 유의한 차이가 있는 요인에 대해 Scheffe의 사후 검정을 실시하였다. 통계 분석을 위한 유의수준은 .05로 설정하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 지체장애인의 생활체육 참여가 자신감에 미치는 영향은 성별, 연령, 직업, 종목에 따라 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 생활만족도에서는 성별, 장애원인을 제외한 나머지 특성들이 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 사실을 근거로 지체장애인들의 생활체육 참여를 보다 활성화 시킬 수 있는 여건을 만들어야 할 것이라고 사료된다.
