Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Distinguish between the concepts of quality of life (QOL), subjective well-being (SWB), and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and explain why conflating them has limited research in this field.
  2. Describe the key findings from quantitative (meta-analytic) versus qualitative research on the effects of physical activity on QOL/SWB in people with disabilities, and identify why these two bodies of evidence tell different stories.
  3. Identify the six core elements of the Quality Participation Framework (QPF) and explain their role in shaping meaningful physical activity experiences for people with disabilities.
  4. Explain the five conditions proposed in the Quality Participation Model that must be met for a physical activity intervention to improve QOL/SWB.
  5. Evaluate the systemic and methodological barriers (e.g., exclusionary research practices, lack of theoretical frameworks) that have limited high-quality disability-inclusive physical activity research, and consider implications for future study design.
