The descriptors involved include the evolution of inclusion, concepts of disability, corporeality, sitting volleyball and the meaning of sport in parasports, based on scientific sources such as Scielo, Google Scholar and newspapers. The discussions and results highlight the importance of understanding the formation of the movement's biography and, consequently, the construction of the body. Furthermore, the study highlights the perception of competence, showing that sitting volleyball is not just a sporting activity, but a transformation tool that transcends physical limits, positively impacting and expanding personal identity.
