heal.abstract	The present study attempted to identify the research trends in Adapted Physical Activity-APA. Documentary analysis was used to evaluate 99 research studies in APAQ from 2006 to 2010. The majority of publications examined psychosocial issues (29.29%), measurement/ assessment/ classification (20.20%), exercise science/ physical activity (14.14%), motor behavior, biomechanics (8.08%) and disability sports (21.21%). Samples of individuals with physical disabilities (17.89%), different disability categories (14.73%) and mental retardation/ intellectual disability (12.63%) were reported more often. For the quantitative vs qualitative distinction, 74 studies were classified as quantitative while 16 studies were qualitative. Validity and reliability reports appeared in 82 studies, while the majority of the sampling methods were purposive (21 studies), recruited (20 studies) and convenience (17 studies). With respect to theories the self-efficacy and self-determination were the most commonly reported. Overall, there is a trend for using theory to examine specific samples more in depth, through qualitative research, and a lower tendency to report analyses with sophisticated statistical software, randomized samples and generalization of findings. Academic scholars and researchers may consider the above conclusions when consulting with their graduate students and planning their future research endeavors in the APA field	en
