| Abstract | ||
| This study aims for identifying the effect of practicing volleyball as a recreational and competition activity on some voluntary characteristics for physical disabled population. The researchers used the descriptive method on 115 physical disabled volleyball practitioners including 62 competition practitioners and 53 recreational practitioners. The researchers used two voluntary characteristics questionnaires as means of data collection, where the reliability of the questionnaires was proved statistically. The most important results showed the presence of significant differences between the competition practitioners and the recreational practitioners in favor of the first group in all the items of the two applied questionnaires except for self-confidence. The order of characteristics for competition practitioners was insistence, achievement motivation, responsibility, goal setting, self-confidence, courage self-control and independence. As for recreational practitioners, the order of characteristics was insistence, achievement motivation, responsibility, goal setting, self-confidence, self-control, courage and independence. The researchers recommend paying more attention to building more sports facilities for the disabled population either for competition or for recreation in addition to conducting further researches to study the effect of different sports activities on the voluntary characteristics of the disabled population with different types of disability. | ||
