Physical Activity Participation Rates

Simone Dudley Season 1 Episode 14

In this episode a group of physiotherapy students and guest physiotherapist, Cara Van Wyk, discuss their research project on the low physical activity participation rates in children with disabilities. They examine various barriers and facilitators of participation at different levels based on the socio-ecological model of health. The podcast focuses on the intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community, and policy-level factors that impact the physical activity participation of children with disabilities.
