“…Another finding that has emerged is the importance of using theoretical or conceptual models to drive future research (Reid & Stanish, 2003;Cervantes & Taylor, 2011) Thus, hypotheses are developed based on them and those models can be further confirmed or revised as appropriate depending on research results. Too few studies (4 of 18, or 22%) included a theoretical or conceptual model.…”

The purpose of this article was to review published research literature on physical activity for school-age individuals with visual impairments by describing study characteristics and major findings. Keyword searches were used to identify articles from electronic databases published from 1982 to June 2013. Eighteen articles met all inclusion criteria, and relevant data such as participants, visual-impairment levels, theory, measurement, and dependent variables were extracted from them. Of the 18 studies, 5 were descriptive, 6 correlational, and 7 were interventions. Only 4 studies explicitly stated a theoretical or conceptual framework. Major findings suggest that low physical activity levels of school-age individuals with visual impairments may be related to perceived participation barriers including the availability of appropriate opportunities rather than visual acuity or educational setting.

“…Despite the health benefits and specific recommendations, rates of inactivity are high among adults with physical disabilities, especially compared to adults without physical disabilities (9, 11, 55). Multilevel, theory-based PA interventions that incorporate technology are needed to address these disparities (15, 93). …”

“…Even interventions using convenience samples struggle to reach enrollment targets (15, 33, 90, 100). The high prevalence of comorbid conditions often leads to many interested individuals being excluded from intervention participation (63, 77); thus, more flexible inclusion criteria may be necessary to increase enrollment (63, 74).…”

“…A variety of methodologies have been adopted to deliver PA interventions for physically disabled adults, but individually tailored interventions are identified in the literature as best practice (15, 35, 75, 95). There is a trend of adapting technological innovations to deliver personalized, in-home, interactive PA interventions for individuals with physical disabilities to improve accessibility and addresses participation barriers (e.g.…”

“…transportation) (26, 29, 33, 35). Telephone and web-based coaching and exercise DVDs are commonly used home-based delivery channels for PA interventions among adults with physical disabilities (15) and innovative approaches such as mobile technology, immediate video feedback (IVF), and gaming systems have also been incorporated into PA interventions for this population. Some interventions have involved providing exercise coaching sessions to individuals with spinal cord injuries through a computer application on adapted Android tablets (35).…”

Underserved populations, including racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with low socioeconomic status, and individuals with physical disabilities, are less likely to engage in sufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and are thus at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. These populations face unique challenges to engaging in MVPA. Learning how to overcome these challenges is a necessary first step in achieving health equity through health promotion research. In this review of the literature, we discuss issues and strategies that have been used to promote MVPA among individuals from underserved populations, focusing on recruitment, intervention delivery, and the use of technology in interventions. Physical activity promotion research among these vulnerable populations is scarce. Nevertheless, there is preliminary evidence of efficacy in the use of certain recruitment and intervention strategies including tailoring, cultural adaptation, incorporation of new technologies, and multilevel and community-based approaches for physical activity promotion among different underserved populations.
