This study examined the awareness of and attitudes toward sports for the disabled and the Paralympics among university students majoring in a department of sports, health and welfare. The results indicated that both recognition of and interest in these activities were high. In fact, approximately 60% of the university students expressed interest in becoming directly involved with sports for the disabled or the Paralympics. The greatest expression of interest was displayed by those preparing to become trainers. This study suggests the need to develop the human resources to support sports for the disabled by enabling students preparing to become athletic trainers to collaborate with leaders of disabled sports training.
