Ready, Set, Go! A Physical Fitness Intervention for Children With Mobility Challenges

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cerebral Palsy, Myelomeningocele, Arthrogryposis, Motor Skills Disorders, Gross Motor Development Delay

In brief

Barriers to keeping and maintaining fitness as a young person with a disability exist across many domains of access to community locations such as fitness centers, so looking outside of these establishments may be necessary to advance fitness. This study is aimed at piloting a program that would address some of these barriers by hosting a modified after school running program with an underserved population in an accessible way. There is a second option to participate outside of school.
