Development of sport for disabled people in Colombia, mainly in the Midwest : Bogota, Cundinamarca and the military (armed forces)

This research to describe the dynamics and resistances in the development of sport for disabled people in Colombia, mainly in the Midwest: Bogota, Cundinamarca and the military (armed forces). We are questioned the dynamics that allow the operation of sports projects for disabled persons in Colombia, also the most frequent resistance hindering the practice for this population. Thirty one National Paralympic sports players have been questioned: fourteen leaders and seventeen Colombian athletes with disabilities. They have shown that the main dynamics of the development of sport for disabled people in Colombia are the economic, sporting facilities and interdisciplinary. Resistances: it’s evident that the condition of life for disabled athletes is not the correct: social security, the level of academic training, contract conditions, and training and competition conditions. Similarly, there have been some needs emerge, which are not considered as resistors, but the future may become an obstacle to the development of sport in this population.
