“…Adolescents who had established activities reported finding their niche (the 'right place') and wanting to participate regularly, for example, in a para sports club or a team sport. Unlike in previous reports [39][40][41], adolescents in this study reported being satisfied with their level of attendance, whilst parents reported challenges in 'getting the mix right' for attendance. This included the 'right time' to be active and 'balancing the continua' to avoid 'I do not want to do it'.…”

Purpose: To understand adolescents’ and their parents’ perspectives on ‘being active’, this study explored the experience of participation in physical activity (PA), the role of long-term participation in PA, and the importance of remaining active for life. Methods: Eight ambulant adolescents with CP (aged 11–16 years, seven male) participated in a high-level mobility programme twice per week for 12 weeks. Guided using interpretive description, adolescents and 12 of their parents were interviewed before, after and nine months following the programme. Thirty-eight interviews were coded, analysed, and interpreted, informed by audit information, reflective journaling, and team discussions. Results: Adolescents and their parents highly value being active now and into adulthood. Sustainable participation in PA requires adolescents and families to navigate complex environments (interpersonal, organisational, community, and policy). Core themes were: ‘Just Doing it’, ‘Getting the Mix Right’ (right people, right place, right time), ‘Balancing the Continua’ and ‘Navigating the Systems’. The continua involved balancing intra-personal attributes: ‘I will try anything’ through to ‘I will do it if I want to’ and ‘It’s OK to be different’ through to ‘It sucks being disabled’. Conclusions: The journey to sustainable participation was complex and dynamic. Experiences of successful journeys are needed to help adolescents with CP “stay on track” to sustainable participation.

People with visual impairment have greater difficulty in accessing physical activity and sport, and a lack of social interaction is also associated with a risk of exclusion. Work is currently being done to include people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport. However, there is a lack of studies examining the status and overall effectiveness of interventions in the pre- and post-COVID stage. This study aimed to provide solid evidence on the characteristics and effectiveness of interventions for the inclusion of people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport in order to address the need for dissemination on this topic. The bibliographic search was carried out with the words “Physical activity”, “Physical exercise”, “Sport”, “Physical training”, “visual disability”, “visual impairment” and “inclusion” in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar from 2018 to 2021.The article selection process was according to the PRISMA protocol with a final selection of nine articles. The main results highlighted that the programmes improve the perception of people with disabilities, increase social skills and health and increase the social importance of people with disabilities in the social environment. Among the most generalised conclusions were the need for specialised training, the need for social inclusion and participation of people with visual impairment in their environments and increased physical activity.

“…Only half of children with ID have sufficient physical activity [26,27], which is 12,000 steps per day [28,29]. At the same time, the positive aspects of sports are therefore far more important for children with ID than for children without disabilities [30,31]. Physical activity leads to physical and mental health [32], improves aerobic capacity of the lungs, motor skills, and coordination, and also contributes to the visibility and increase of the social status of the person, thereby increasing satisfaction in children and adolescents with ID who regularly do sports [33,34].…”

The goal of the study is to compare BMI indicators in children who regularly do sports, participating in the Special Olympics (SO) with non-sporty children, show the trend of BMI indicators, and to find out whether the 2-month of summer holidays have any effect on BMI indicators. An InBody device was used. Participants are children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID). In total, four measurements of children were carried out over the course of 2 years. Total participants SO is n = 14, n = 18, n = 18, and n = 13 (13.6 ± 2.8 aged). Non-sporty children is n = 35, n = 37, n = 38, and n = 46 (12.5 ± 3.1 aged). Participants SO have 1.48 lower BMI values, 1 kg more muscle mass, and 1.3 kg less fat. During the summer holidays, participants SO have an increase in muscle mass (BMI and fat remain unchanged). For non-sporty children, all indicators decrease over the summer holidays (BMI, muscle mass, and fat). Participants SO have better results in all BMI indicators compared to non-sporty children. The results clearly show the great importance of sports and the positive effects of physical activities for children and adolescents with ID.
