JELÍNKOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor work focuses on sport activities of physically handicapped part of population. The choice of this theme is narrowly connected with my job, where I work with disabled people on everyday bases and I try to return them into active life by physical exercising. Sport is recommended to those who are physically stronger as a medical treatment and I can see that this activity can make these people smile despite the difficult situation they are facing. In the introduction there is briefly compared past and present attitude to sport activities of physically disabled people. Whole work is divided into a theory part and research part. The theory part is divided into 4 chapters. The first charter explains the general term of disability, about disability from the health and social point of view. It is also about causes and different kinds of these disabilities and the possible tools of compensation.

The research is focused on the difference of attitude those who are disabled since childhood and those who became disabled in adulthood. I tried to select those respondents who differ a lot. I made analyze of narrative interview and sports which were those respondents interested in, or sports they would like to take up in the future. Five categories were made during this analysis, which I called: Attitude to sport, Why to sport, Negatives, Beginnings of sport, Family. The research has shown that they are several factors that influence the attitude of people to sport. I found out that there is different attitude to sports of those who are disabled since young age and those who became disabled as adults.
