Abstract
The investigation aimed to determine if sport motivation for engagement to the sitting volleyball differed between groups of participants, sorted by 6 criterions. 88 athletes (M: 83 and F: 5) participated in this research, including sitting volleyball players in origin from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Greece. The data are collected using the Sitting Volleyball Participation Survey, which is modified version of Disability Sport Participation Questionaire (Wu, & Williams, 2001), designed for investigation of motives for sport participation among persons with disability. Descriptive statistics and Non parametric Mann- Whitney-U test within the SPSS 16.0, were used for statistical analysis. The results inicated that motiv of Socialisation (78.8 %) is the prime factor of sitting volleyball participation. Statistically significant differences between chosen groups of participants haven't been found, except the fact that players who experienced injury in younger age emphasize the importance of sport competition for their sport participation.
