Amputation is the total or partial ablation of a member of traumatic or surgical way resulting in physical, psychological and social harm, with considerable reduction in quality of life (QL) and functionality in everyday activities. The sporting orientation has been recommended a complementary strategy of rehabilitation and social reintegration. The aim of the study was to analyze the quality of life and functionality in athletes and non-athletes with lower limb amputation. A cross-sectional study consisting of 45 amputees, divided into two groups was carried out: sportsperson GS (n = 23) and non sportsperson GNS (n = 22). The instruments used were The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). For analysis of demographic data was analyzed using the chi-square test, Student’s t for parametric data and the Mann-Whitney test for nonparametric adopted significance level of p < 0.05. The GS apresented higher scores in all domains assessed by the SF-36 physical functioning (p < 0.001), role limitations due to physical health (p < 0.001), pain (p = 0.010), general health (p < 0.001), energy/fatigue (p = 0.006), social functioning (p < 0.001), role limitations due to emotional problems (p < 0.001) and emotional well-being (p < 0.001); similarly when assessed occupational performance (p < 0.001) and satisfaction in performance in daily activities (p < 0.001). Sport can reduce the restrictions of participation in daily activities contributing to increase the quality of life, developing skills for satisfactory functional performance.
