ABSTRACT

This study aimed to design and validate a physical activity participation measurement tool for individuals with physical disabilities in Indonesia. This study was motivated by the limited number of measurement tools that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for Indonesia, despite the globally recognized importance of physical activity for the physical and mental health of people with disabilities. The methods used included adaptation of the "Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities" instrument into Indonesian language and culture, and validation through the Delphi method involving nine experts in the fields of psychometrics, sport psychology, and disability sport. Data analysis was conducted using the content validity ratio, which resulted in an average value of 0.880, signifying excellent content validity. The results showed that the developed scale has strong validity to measure physical activity participation in people with physical disabilities. This study concludes that it is important to adapt international measurement tools to suit local contexts. The contribution of this study provides a basis for the development of more inclusive and evidence-based physical activity programs in Indonesia, as well as supporting better health and welfare policies for people with disabilities. Further research is expected to explore factors that influence sports participation in a broader context, such as access to sports facilities and social support.
