Research Report: Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Sport

This report presents the first research result of the Stride & Glide project, focusing on the inclusion of persons with disabilities in sport and organised physical activity. It explores the current situation across partner countries, including Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Portugal, and identifies key barriers, opportunities, policy frameworks, and practical recommendations for making sport more accessible and inclusive. The findings highlight that while the right to participate in sport is formally recognised, many people with disabilities still face structural, practical, and social barriers that limit their participation.
