Sports are a significant way for persons with severe disabilities to re-establish their own identity and promote a social life. When no sports group was compared with sports group, the condition of health was better, and some job rates were high, and a yearly income was high in sports group. Sports have the function which is similar to the self-help group. Also, sports have the empowerment function helping persons with severe disabilities to reach their full potential.
