The objective of the study was to analyse and compare the subjective quality of life (S-QoL) of women with physical disabilities (PDs) through satisfaction with the quality of life domains and the overall quality of life assessment.

The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes of older students with disabilities (N = 140, 78 boys and 62 girls, age 13.5 ± 1.49 years) of three special elementary schools. The attitudes towards physical education (PE) of those students were examined in the sense of a school subject, reasons for PE lesson indifference in schools with regard of type of disability. In evaluation were not found any significant differences among students with disabilities with regards to the amount of effort required by PE lessons. Differences were found in opinions expressed by students with disabilities if for some reason a regular PE lesson is cancelled. The results show very significant differences as for the reasons for PE lesson indifference among the students with disabilities; while for students with physical disabilities the biggest reason of their inactivity during PE lessons was their laziness, for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, the biggest reason was inconvenient conditions, and students with visual disabilities were mostly discouraged from doing exercise in PE lessons because of their thoughts about their next subjects.

Positive and negative emotional reactions have been examined in the second stage of elementary school after physical education classes through examinations involving students who are deaf or hard of hearing (N = 7, mean of age = 14.43 years, SD = 1.27), their hearing classmates (N = 125, mean of age = 13.75 years, SD = 0.97) and students who are deaf or hard of hearing in schools for the deaf (N = 32, mean of age = 15.19 years, SD = 1.24). In the evaluation of negative emotional reactions, significantly higher values were found in deaf or hard of hearing students who were included in a general school than in students in schools for the deaf. Differences were found in the dimensions of the feelings of fatigue, frustration, anger, discomfort, negative attitudes towards physical education and sport. The worries of students who are deaf or hard of hearing in mainstream education about communication misunderstandings, delayed reactions to starting an action or worries about damage to their hearing aid in contact sports played in physical education classes manifested themselves in feelings of anxiety and tension.
