Data collection tools were standard serious leisure time questionnaires (Gould et al., 2008), life satisfaction questionnaire by Diener et al.

However, social support does not have a significant effect on the life satisfaction of disabled people. Also, serious leisure time has a positive and meaningful effect on the happiness of disabled people. Happiness also has a positive and meaningful effect on the life satisfaction of disabled people. In addition, social support does not play a mediating role in the relationship between serious leisure time and life satisfaction of disabled people. Happiness plays a mediating role in the relationship between serious leisure time and life satisfaction of disabled people. Therefore, it can be concluded that participation in serious leisure activities can increase social support and happiness, and as a result, increase the life satisfaction of disabled athletes.
