First, the participants in the study had the highest frequency of participation in men in their 40s and in their 30s. Second, as the characteristics of sports participation, it was found that there were many participants in wheelchair basketball, those who use wheelchairs during exercise, and those who participated in the exercise for more than 5 years. Third, when participating in sports activities, many participants wear sportswear and displayed dissatisfaction about inconvenience of use, size, price and etc by types of disability. Fourth, if universal sportswear is developed, it is found that they are more willing to wear it and prefer the price ranged from 50,000 to 100,000 won.
