Objective: To assess the influence of parasports on the quality of life of people with motor disabilities. Methodology: Cross-sectional quantitative study carried out with 351 para- athletes ( = 30.9 ± 11.7 years) and 90 non-athletes. with motor disabilities ( = 31.6 ± 9.3 years). It was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Pará (CAAE nº 51930821.2.0000.5174), under protocol nº. Decree No. 5,012,266, of October 1, 2021. Data was collected using a Google Forms questionnaire. Quality of life was assessed through the application of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire – WHOQOL-100. The data were presented using descriptive statistics and subjected to inferential analysis using non-parametric tests, where the continuous distribution of data differs from the normal distribution. The Mann-Whitney non-parametric test was applied for intergroup comparisons of continuous variables. For discrete and/or nominal variables, Pearson's chi-square test was used, both with a significance level of p < 0.05 to reject the null hypothesis. Results: Para-athletes had a better quality of life than non-athletes (∆% = 12.97%, p = 0.02), with the former achieving a general index of 14.20, classifying them as high (above 14 points). This result is mainly due to Domain 6 (Spirituality), where this group obtained an index of 16.90, higher than the group of non-athletes in this domain (∆%= 16.69%). Conclusion: Regarding their physical disabilities, the para-athlete group had abetter quality of life than their non-athlete counterparts. It can be inferred that the practice of parasport may have helped people with physical disabilities to overcome their limitations.
