An interventional study of Rafting, canoeing and kayaking and Divulgation in Disabilities and Visual Impairment and Blindness (Excl Colour Blindness), sponsored by Universidad de Extremadura. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 12 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-27.
Sponsored by Universidad de Extremadura · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
To promote the inclusion of people with disabilities, an outdoor intervention will be conducted involving physical activities with adolescents with and without disabilities. The study will be designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a control group that will not participate in these activities, and will include three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up). The study will assess sociodemographic, accessibility, socio-emotional, and group cohesion variables.
144 studies on the registry are indexed under Blindness; 33 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 35 is close to the median of 37 across 101 interventional studies indexed under Blindness.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Participants in the experimental group will attend an informational session on disability and take part in an interactive workshop where they will experience the challenges and sensations faced by people with disabilities to empathize with them and understand their reality.Subsequent to this workshop, participants will engage in a series of activities, beginning with whitewater rafting, followed by canyoning, and concluding with kayaking. These activities are designed to be inclusive, accommodating individuals both with and without disabilities. Following workshops and activities based on smart and active tourism, the personal experiences of people with and without disabilities will be shared, fostering a dialogue that further enhances the understanding of the reality faced by people with functional diversity.
Other: Rafting, canoeing and kayaking
Students will participate in a workshop on disability awareness. The workshop will be the same for this group and the group participating in outdoor physical activities. During the workshop, students will learn about disabilities and experience a simulation using eye masks and tongue depressors to simulate visual and speech impairments.

Perception of accesibility (Physical and Social Accessibility Scale)
This scale measures perceptions of accessibility in one's environment, focusing on physical and social aspects and considering how social interactions and inclusion influence daily life. A Likert scale ranging from 1 ( "extremely inaccessible") to 5 ( "extremely accessible ") was used to measure these perceptions.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of one month
Perception of group cohesion (Group Environment Questionnaire)
Assesses the perceptions of group cohesion. This questionnaire includes factors related to personal attraction to group tasks, personal motivation toward the social group, engagement in group tasks, and group-social unity.
Time frame: Through study completion, average of 1 month
Perception of attitudes towards inclusion (AISDPE)
This scale consists of 17 items divided into two dimensions: cognitive perception (seven items) and behavioral intention (ten items). The scores were determined using a Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree").
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of one month follow up
No study locations are listed for this record.

No publications or documents are linked to this record.
Start is estimated for Jun 2026; primary completion for Jul 2026, 1 month later.
Of 36 interventional studies with no phase under Blindness, half reached primary completion within 57 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19. This study's planned 1 month is below that.
