Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare selected psychological characteristics between male and female able-bodied and wheelchair athletes. All subjects completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Morgan (1980) has reported that based on the POMS elite able-bodied male and female athletes possess superior mental and emotional health compared to the general population. Based on this investigation, this result can now be extended to male and female wheelchair athletes.Keywords
