“…Indeed, some studies reported that many people with disabilities reported that they were fed up with exercise/physiotherapy but had to do it to maintain their function. 40,43,44 However, it is difficult to identify whether their activities were rehabilitative or pleasant, also the main purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of LTPAs in adults with CP and the CGP. Thus, we did not exclude potential rehabilitative activities from LTPA in the analyses.…”

“…This contradictory advice was evident in some reflections when the participants described an uncertainty about what to do and a fear of over-exerting themselves. Childhood experiences affect PA depending on the nature of the experiences; positive experiences have a positive impact as described above, whereas negative experiences, i.e., discomfort and lack of meaningfulness impact negatively (Sandstrom, Samuelsson, & Oberg, 2009;Schutzer & Graves, 2004). Their childhood experiences and their disability have affected their personality which is often characterized by overachievement and a strong will to fit in, commonly described as a "polio personality" (Atwal et al, 2014;Thoren-Jonsson & Grimby, 2001).…”

Maintaining regular physical activity (PA) can be challenging for persons with late effects of polio. This qualitative study of ambulatory persons with late effects of polio explored their perceptions of PA, and facilitators of and barriers to PA. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 persons and analyzed with content analysis using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as framework. The participants described positive perceptions of PA and its health benefits. PA was used to prevent further decline in functioning, and the type and frequency of activities had changed over time. Past experiences and personal characteristics impacted on PA. Support from close relatives, knowledgeable health care professionals, mobility devices and accessible environments facilitated PA, whereas impairments, inaccessible environments and cold weather were the main barriers. To perform PA regularly, persons with late effects of polio may benefit from individualized advice based on their disability, personal and environmental factors.

“…Qualitative studies investigating experiences of PA in people with CP have been conducted. Sandstrom et al (2009) explored how personal and environmental factors affected PA experiences in adults with CP. It was demonstrated that although participants enjoyed PA, they stated needs for professional support to facilitate lifelong PA. Buffart et al (2009) conducted a focus group interview to study the main barriers and facilitators of PA in young adults with CP.…”

Little is known about the physical activity (PA) experiences of school-aged students with cerebral palsy (CP) in both school and community settings. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the PA experiences from special school students with CP. Data were collected through face to face semi-structured interviews with 8 special school students with CP. Interviews were audio taped and converted to verbatim transcriptions and then analyzed using content analysis. The analysis led to four different themes related with participation of PA, which were: (a) sedentary behaviours; (b) enjoyment; (c) motivations; and (d) barriers. It was concluded that participants have not enough PA participation with both positive and negative experiences of PA. Environmental factors and negative attitudes hinder their participations in PA. Lack of sufficient personal supports from professionals, parents, and friends are also big challenges for promoting PA in this population.
