..students with physical anhd sensory disabilities Opportunities and encouragement to develop qualities and skills that can personally empower individuals with disabilities are limited. One possible means to remove this "empowerment deficit" is through participation in sport and physical fitness activity. The purpose of the study was to examine the empowering capability of this activity context. Indepth, tape-recorded interviews were conducted with 28 male college students with physical or sensory disabilities. Questions focused on experiences and perceived outcomes related to their involvement in sport and physical fitness activity. Responses indicated activity participation was associated with three empowerment outcomes that individuals with disabilities often have limited opportunities to achieve: (a) perceived competence as a social actor, (b) facilitation of goal attainment, and (c) social integration. Participants were empowered at the individual level as these outcomes enhanced perceptions of their effectiveness as social actors and provided a greater sense of control in their lives. Blinde, E.
