AB This study investigates the relationship between sport participation and the life satisfactionscores reported by people without and with disabilities, wherein overall lifesatisfaction is seen as an aggregate of satisfaction levels regarding various domains oflife (and consistent with the bottom-up spillover theory). Using longitudinal data takenfrom the German Socio-Economic Panel for the period 1984–2013, this study presentsestimates from a two-layer model that allows life satisfaction to be explained by thesatisfaction scores reported by individuals with respect to six different domains of lifesatisfaction (i.e. job, health, housework, household income, dwelling, and leisure). Wefound that sport participation has a positive and significant correlation with the levels ofsatisfaction with health, housework, and leisure reported by people with disabilities.Furthermore, the domains of satisfaction with health, housework and household incomeare the main contributors to the enhancement of their levels of overall life satisfaction.However, the interrelations of these domains of life satisfaction with overall lifesatisfaction are mainly transitory. From a public policy perspective, it is necessary toundertake the design and implementation of inclusive public and private sport programsfor people with disabilities that contribute to increasing not only their levels of overalllife satisfaction but also other facets of life satisfaction.
