In the field of Adapted Physical Activity, there is a dearth of research that has attempted to critically explore ethical issues arising in the field of practice. The reason why ethical considerations are needed in the field of practice is that adapted physical activity instructors can negatively affect other people's lives, such as students with disability, regardless of their intentions. Purpose Therefore, the purpose of this study is to apply ethical theories on ethical issues that may appear in the adapted physical activity practice field and consider their implications. Methods Through ethics theory, researcher attempted to critically examine what is right, wrong, or good or bad in the field of adapted physical activity practice. Results As a result of the research, ethical theories were considered and the contributions and limitations that each theory could offer to adapted physical activity practice were discussed.
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the alienation and the overcoming process of the physical activity participation of people with Adventitious Visual Impairment(AVI) Methods 21 Adults with AVI were recruited and one on one semi-structured interview was conducted. Ground theory was used to analyze the data. Member check, peer debriefing was conducted to enhance the trustworthiness of this study. Results As a result, a total of 203 concepts were derived. This consisted of 21 subcategories and the common themes of the subcategories were categorized into nine categories. Specific results are as follows. First, the physical activity of people with AVI was directly affected by the sports facilities, physical activity programs, and professional instructor. This causal condition resulted in the loss of leisure experience in the context of the busy daily life and the depressed psychological state. Second, due to the perceived need of health care and the positive involvement of others, people with AVI came to expect the effect of exercise. Third, people with AVI participated in physical activity again as a tool to achieve the purpose of health improvement. This type of physical activity has a limitation that it can not guarantee the continuity of physical activity due to the limitation that it does not contain autonomy and interest of people with AVI. Conclusions Based on these results, the following suggestions were made. First, it is necessary to improve the environment for ensuring participation in physical activity of people with AVI. Moreover education and promotion of the effects and values of the exercise should be carried out for people with AVI and their guardians. Second, it is necessary to diversify physical activity types and reconstruct existing exercise programs.
