About this study
Official title: Health Promotion Through Adapted Table Tennis for Individuals With Disabilities
In recent years, sports participation among individuals with disabilities has increased, driven by medical advancements, growing societal awareness, and improved accessibility. However, a significant proportion-about 60%-still do not engage in regular physical activity, often due to limited awareness and environmental barriers. Organizations like the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) have played a key role in promoting disability sports, as evidenced by the growth in Paralympic participation from 400 athletes in 1960 to an expected 4,400 in 2024. Physical activity offers both physical and psychological benefits for people with disabilities, including improved cardiovascular health, motor function, and emotional well-being. Although adapted table tennis is a promising, accessible sport for this population, research on its health effects remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a 12-week adapted table tennis program on the physical and mental health of individuals with disabilities and to explore its potential as a sustainable health-promotion strategy.
Read the detailed description
In recent decades, the participation of individuals with disabilities in sports has gradually increased, closely associated with medical advancements, growing societal emphasis on physical well-being, and the expansion of exercise opportunities. According to statistics from the United States Census Bureau, there were approximately 85 million people with disabilities in 2014; however, only around 2 million of them participated in recreational or competitive sports. Despite the growing availability of sports opportunities, about 60% of individuals with disabilities still do not engage in regular physical activity. This indicates the presence of multiple barriers to participation, such as limited awareness about the benefits of exercise and inadequate accessibility of sports facilities.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and various National Governing Bodies (NGBs) have played a crucial role in promoting sports participation among individuals with disabilities by establishing institutionalized competition and training systems that foster the development of sports culture. For example, the number of athletes participating in the Paralympic Games has grown from 400 at the 1960 Rome Paralympics to 4,200 at the 2012 London Paralympics. The 2024 Paris Paralympic Games are expected to host 4,400 athletes, reflecting the rapid growth and increasing recognition of disability sports. This growth not only represents society's greater acceptance of para-sports but also underscores the demand among individuals with disabilities for participation and the potential health benefits associated with such involvement.
The health benefits of physical activity for individuals with disabilities are well-supported by a growing body of research. Exercise has been shown to improve endurance, muscular strength, cardiopulmonary function, and flexibility. It also enhances balance and motor skills. Moreover, physical activity provides significant psychological benefits, including improved self-esteem, body image, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. From a cardiovascular perspective, athletes with disabilities tend to have higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, lower smoking rates, and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Specific populations, such as individuals with amputations or spinal cord injuries, also benefit from physical activity through improved proprioception, reduced hospitalization rates, lower incidence of pressure ulcers, and decreased infection risk.
Nevertheless, current research on the health benefits of adapted table tennis for individuals with disabilities remains relatively limited. Due to its technical versatility, high adaptability, and low facility requirements, table tennis has emerged as a suitable exercise option for this population. This study will implement a 12-week table tennis training program to assess its impact on the physical and mental health of individuals with disabilities and further evaluate whether this form of exercise can serve as an effective strategy for promoting their overall well-being.
The findings of this study aim to fill the existing research gap regarding the effects of adapted table tennis on individuals with disabilities and provide an empirical foundation for future exercise intervention programs, thereby advancing the promotion and development of regular physical activity among this population.

| Control group | No intervention | The participants who only receive regular medical management without exercise training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Muscle strength
Static grip strength test
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
Volume of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in Liters
FVC is the total volume of air that can be forcefully and completely exhaled after a full inspiration. It is measured in liters (L) using a digital spirometer. Higher values indicate greater lung volume and better respiratory capacity.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
6-Minute Walk/Push Test (6MWPT) Distance
This outcome measures the maximal distance a participant can travel in 6 minutes on a hard, flat surface. Depending on the participant's ambulatory ability, this was conducted either by walking (6-Minute Walk Test) or by propelling a manual wheelchair (6-Minute Push Test). The total distance is recorded in meters (m). Higher values indicate better cardiopulmonary endurance and functional mobility.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
Flexibility
chair sit-and-reach test
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
Waist Circumference in Centimeters
Waist circumference will be measured using a flexible, non-stretchable anthropometric tape. The measurement is taken at the midpoint between the lower margin of the last palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest (or at the level of the umbilicus, depending on your exact protocol). The data will be reported as a continuous variable in centimeters (cm). This measurement serves as an indicator of central adiposity and body composition changes.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
Total Score on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) Scale
The GAD-7 is a self-administered questionnaire used to assess the severity of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. It consists of 7 items, with each item scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The total aggregated score ranges from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater severity of anxiety symptoms (Score guidelines: 0-4 minimal, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-21 severe anxiety).
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2)
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Assessed by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry in g/cm^2
Bone mineral density of the whole body (or specific regions such as lumbar spine and femoral neck) will be measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). The outcome is reported in grams per square centimeter (g/cm^2). Higher values indicate stronger, denser bones and a lower risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2)
Number of Participants with Abnormal Blood Laboratory Values
A comprehensive blood panel will be drawn to evaluate general health and physiological safety. The panel includes metabolic markers (HbA1C), lipid profile (Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL), renal function and electrolytes (BUN, Cr, uric acid, Na, K, Ca, Mg), liver enzymes (GPT, GOT), complete blood count (CBC), albumin, CRP, and Vitamin D. The outcome is reported as the total number of participants exhibiting clinically significant abnormal values outside the standard laboratory reference ranges.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2)
Volume of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) in Liters
FEV1 is the maximal volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration from a position of full inspiration. It is measured in liters (L) using a digital spirometer. Higher values indicate better pulmonary function and airway patency.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
Ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC)
This outcome calculates the ratio of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). It is expressed as a percentage (%). It serves as a clinical indicator of airway obstruction, with higher values generally indicating better respiratory mechanics.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2).
Total Lean Body Mass Assessed by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (in kg)
Total body lean mass (which includes muscle mass and excludes fat and bone mineral content) will be measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). The outcome is reported in kilograms (kg). Higher values indicate greater muscle mass, reflecting positive structural adaptations to the adapted sports intervention.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2)
Percentage of Total Body Fat Assessed by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry
Total body fat percentage will be measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). The outcome is calculated as fat mass divided by total body mass and reported as a percentage (%). This metric is used to evaluate changes in body composition and metabolic health.
Measured: Pre-intervention (T0), after 12 weeks of intervention (T1), and 6 months after intervention (T2)
