RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar el impacto del deporte en la calidad de vida de jóvenes con discapacidad
intelectual, a través de sus experiencias y perspectivas. Se empleó un enfoque cualitativo para obtener una
comprensión profunda de cómo la participación en deportes adaptados influye en diversas dimensiones de su
bienestar. Los participantes fueron seleccionados mediante un muestreo intencional y se incluyeron cinco jóvenes
atletas, cinco padres y dos entrenadores con amplia experiencia en el deporte adaptado en el marco de las
Olimpiadas Especiales en Ecuador. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de entrevistas en profundidad y un
grupo focal, utilizando la Escala GENCAT como marco de referencia para analizar las dimensiones de la calidad
de vida. Los resultados revelan que la participación en deportes adaptados mejora significativamente el bienestar
emocional, las relaciones interpersonales, el bienestar material, el desarrollo personal y físico, la autodeterminación,
y la inclusión social de los jóvenes. Además, se identificó un aumento en la autoconfianza, la autodisciplina y el
sentido de pertenencia. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de asegurar el acceso a oportunidades deportivas
adaptadas para promover la inclusión y el bienestar integral de los jóvenes con discapacidad intelectual. El estudio
sugiere la necesidad de continuar investigando el impacto a largo plazo del deporte adaptado en esta población.
Palabras clave: deporte adaptado, calidad de vida, discapacidad intelectual.
