“…From a theoretical perspective, the socioecological barriers that parents reported their children to experience are all supported by previous research (Columna et al, 2019;McGarty & Melville, 2018;Sterman et al, 2016). This demonstrates that the barriers faced are consistent across countries, which has important implications for future research.…”

Physical inactivity is a growing international public health concern (World Health Organization, 2018). The need to address physical inactivity is particularly important for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities, who participate in low levels of physical activity and are significantly less active than their typically developing peers (Boddy, Downs, Knowles, & Fairclough, 2015; Einarsson et al., 2015). These low levels of physical activity are insufficient to gain the clinically meaningful physical and mental health benefits associated with physical activity (Ahn & Fedewa, 2011; Biddle & Asare, 2011; Janssen & LeBlanc, 2010). Since children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities have various chronic health conditions and experience significant health inequalities, such as an increased prevalence of anxiety and obesity and reduced cardiorespiratory and muscular function, promoting physical activity is therefore essential to improve the health of this population (Maiano, 2010; Oeseburg, Dijkstra, Groothoff, Reijneveld, & Jansen, 2011). Children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities, however, face numerous barriers to being physically active. The socioecological model provides a useful framework for categorizing types of barriers as either intrapersonal, interpersonal, organisational or environmental, and has been used in previous studies which have categorized barriers to physical activity faced by children with intellectual disabilities (Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Must, Phillips, Curtin, & Bandini, 2015). Using this framework, existing research demonstrates that children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities face intrapersonal barriers relating to their disabilities, such as

“…Factors affecting children with disabilities' participation in physical activity have previously been reported for all levels of this model (e.g. : child and disability effects, parent behaviour, societal attitudes to disability, accessible facilities, and staff information; Shields et al, 2012;Sterman et al, 2016). Therefore, the present systematic review provides additional data identifying the specific facilitators and barriers relevant to children with ID.…”

“…Disability effects, societal attitudes to disability, accessible facilities, and staff information have also been reported to affect physical activity in children with disabilities (Shields, Synnot, & Barr, 2012). Furthermore, cognitive factors associated with developmental disabilities, such as a reduced ability to judge safety and understand rules and concepts within play, also limits participation (Sterman et al, 2016).…”

“…Parents, like the young people themselves, are socialised in a world where disability is medicalised and deemed in need of special treatment and protection (Curran, Liddiard & Runswick-Cole, 2018), further exacerbating the current emphasis on risk aversion in parenting in general. They recognise their own lack of knowledge of opportunities as an influence on participation in leisure (Sterman et al, 2016). Working closely with families to understand their unique contexts and influences and how they can use these to facilitate togetherness experiences between their child and their peers may support parents to enabl risk-taking.…”
