AB - This study explored the relationships among visually impaired related stressors, coping strategies and adjustment, as well as leisure using case studies of visually impaired people who are running as a coping resource strategy. Given the exploratory nature of this study, qualitative analysis was employed as a guiding methodology. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted. The analysis of the interviews identified two themes: visually impaired related stressors and coping/adjustment strategies for eight people who are visually impaired. Running played a distinct role in their stress coping strategy and the adjustment process, providing (i) a positive distraction, (ii) an opportunity to stay optimistic, (iii) a source of return to normalcy, and (iv) a context for positive inner growth. Overall, this study provided evidence for the role of leisure as a key function of stress coping and adjustment to negative life events. These findings along with implications for practitioners and future research are provided.
