The purpose of this research is to identify and understand the reported meaningful sport experiences by athletes with visual disability. Through the phenomenological analysis of phenomenological interviews with four athletes, seeks to understand and describe these experiences in its fundamental level. Also we want to find the relationship of these lived experiences during sport and its effect on everyday attitudes of these athletes, as witness of the phenomenon as remembered or recalled. The experiences in the sport of these subjects have common elements which also refer to the sphere of existential dimension of them. In sports, athletes can experience a moment of enlargement of their condition, through the effectiveness body, the sense of capacity, the possibility of fulfillment of desire, this becoming persevering will in face of the owns adversities of sport. Sports practice gives the opportunity of effectiveness body, so intense, fulfilling and, above all, socially shared. These common elements can also be found in the experiences of other subjects, with or without disabilities. However, the novelty and the persistence of effectiveness body involved in the lived horizon of the existential condition of these athletes is what can make the sport as aspect existentially modifying and gradually meaningful in their lives. Athletes with visual impairment, in sports, experiencing an effectiveness of the body and an enlargement, an enlargement of their existential condition, the condition of the body in the world and thus the modification of the shrinkage of this sphere, they experience the potential of their being in world (AU) | |
