Abstract:
Sport participation lead to many physical and psychosocial benefits. One hundred and six adults who stammer completed an anonymous questionnaire which evaluated their stammering history, exercise and sporting participation, views on why they exercise, whether stammering prevented or negatively influenced their participation in exercise or sport. Their stammer prevented them from taking part in a specific exercise and sport at least once. Their stammer also negatively impacted their involvement when participating at least once, with not feeling part of the team and fear of speaking reported. Self-disclosure of their stammer and improving awareness of stammering were identified as common facilitators for taking part in exercise/sport. Stammering was not found to impact general participation in exercise and sport but was identified as a barrier to partaking in specific exercise and sport and their enjoyment thereof.
