This study was conducted to find out the effect of physical activity to the psychological well-being in
terms of self-esteem and self-efficacy of persons with disability. 40 students from CORD Foundation in
San Jose, Occidental Mindoro were the respondents of the study. The intervention program was carried
out for eight (8) consecutive Saturdays. This consisted of aerobic exercises and structured games. The
effectiveness of the intervention program was determined using the One-Group Pre-test (degree of selfesteem and self-efficacy of the respondents before the intervention program and Post-test (degree of
self-esteem and self-efficacy of the respondents after the intervention program) Design. Data were
analysed using the t-test for dependent means. The statistical calculations showed that the difference on
the self-esteem and self-efficacy were significant thus, it can be concluded that physical activity is
effective in enhancing the self-esteem and self-efficacy of the PWDs. Thus it is recommended that
physical activity be sustained to people with disabilities.
