Resilience and welfare promotion: multilateral training as an innovative didactic method for disabled

Abstract

Physical activity for people with disabilities is an opportunity to cope with high stress situations and meet individual needs. Intentionally educational sport is the expression of fundamental human values: loyalty, discipline, rigor, emotional self‐gov‐ernment, promotion of feelings of self‐esteem and solidarity. These values are useful to develop resilience in order to over‐come, flexibly, adverse conditions finding functional forms of adaptation to the negative contexts that are being experienced and to the psycho‐physical difficulties that can occur in a disabled person.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical education program within the overall framework of in‐dividual training and personal growth of people with disabilities. The effects of a motor program based on the eight‐month Multilateral Training (MT) teaching method on physical efficiency and resilience in people with disability. The study carried out in the academic year 2021‐2022 involved 20 disabled athletes.
The results show that in athletes, the MT teaching method has been effective in increasing physical efficiency and resilience capacity, highlighting the need to orient sports teaching practice increasingly towards an inclusive model adapted to the needs of the user.
