N2  - This paper qualitatively examines environmental factors operating as barriers and/or facilitators to participation in physical activity (PA) of people with physical  disabilities. Interview data were collected from 27 Spanish university students  through the innovative method of two-on-one interviews. Thereafter, data were  subject to a flexible thematic analysis. Three themes were constructed:  associations; PA practice spaces; and nonhumans. Concepts from different theories  were used to generate meaningful interpretations around each theme. Drawing on our  results, we offer several reflections and directions. Two key messages can be  highlighted. First, environmental barriers and facilitators are context dependent  and thus do not precede the circumstances in which they emerge. Second, Spanish  universities should work harder to become relevant PA promoting environments for  students with physical disability. The knowledge generated in this study is expected  to inform the design, implementation and evaluation of programs promoting PA among  Spanish university students with physical disability.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
