In this study, it took the sports training participation process of athletes with disability as logical trail to explore their living status, problems and their causes before the training, during the training and after the retirement, with a view to deepen the understanding to disabled sports in China and provide theoretical and practical supports for promoting the development of disabled sports in our country. Research and analysis drew the following conclusions:1. The sport training participation process of the athletes with disability included three stages, the stage before participation, the stage during participation and the stage after retirement.2. Before participating in the sport training, they were not able to get the information smoothly because of the poor propaganda from the media, disabled federations and the concerned disabled sport associations. In addition, there were many obstacles when they participated in the sport training as the lack of player selection system. Therefore, the selection of the athletes was accidental and passive. However, their status stimulated their strong motivations to participate in sports training: the serious psychological problems forced them to find a new path to meet their psychological needs; inadequate social security forced them to open up their paths to improve their own situation and achieve self-reliance; In addition, the existence of phenomena such as social discrimination forced them to prove their worth. Driven by the strong motivation and under the influence of the external environment, sport training provided them with an arena to meet the various needs. They coincided.3. During the sport training, sport improved the physical and mental condition of the athletes significantly and promoted the integration of athletes and the community, as well as the realization of the objectives "equality, participation and share". However, due to the influences of the political, economic and institutional factors and the constraint of the disabled sports and athletes with disabilities themselves, the athlete's social security had no obvious improvements; many problems existed in the aspects of hardware and software security; alienation phenomena even existed in the disabled sport competitions. With the development of disabled sports, its targets and developing idea has gone wrong. It pursued their athletic goals and utilitarian goals too much, and failed to play its demonstration effect, radiation effect, and exemplary role in promoting the development of disabled sports.4. Because of injuries and sick and other reasons, the athletes with disabilities retired. For them, sports training has fully proved their worth, altered their destiny, and improved the physical and mental conditions, changing other people's attitudes to them. They had no any regrets. However, their lives after retirement were not comfortable. Although some athletes find the ideal job because of the help of the government and their own efforts, sports career of the majority had few impacts on their jobs. Their road to employment had no any security in the aspect of policies, system security and the necessary attention. Because they were lack of the necessary job skills, employment ideas were old and so on, they could not adapt to the increasingly complex, high-tech work. As a result, their living conditions after retirement were not optimistic.5. From the view of the entire process of sports participation, the issue of social security had always been an important issue in the whole process, and the issue of employment was the most important one.
