“…It is interesting to note that similar patterns were observed across training modalities, irrespective of their target training behaviors or nature of delivery (Internet-based vs. in-person). Most studies also placed a heavy focus on physical capacity, which is consistent with physical capacity being an important predictive factor in a person's level of habitual physical activity [37][38][39][40].…”

Current behavior modification and motivation techniques are based on descriptive explanations of physical activity behaviors and exercises provided by special educators to patients and parents; however, the efficacy of such techniques is largely unknown. The main purpose of this review was to determine how effective different special education techniques and behavior change interventions are for different domains of physical activity for patients with cerebral palsy spastic motor type. A scoping review of scientific/medical databases was conducted to identify relevant studies matched the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Four studies were selected (n=173) implementing behavioral interventions across internet-based and in-person settings. Three of these studies were randomized controlled trials with pre-post differences in physical activity observed in youth with cerebral palsy following behavioral intervention, although improvements were not statistically different from controls. This scoping review collectively demonstrates that design and implementation of behavioral change interventions lead to improvements of specific motor skills and highlights the need for ongoing research in children and adults with special motor needs.

“…The IPAQ-SF calculates an estimate of METs using only self-reported time spent exercising at different intensities and is far more feasible for establishing trends remotely or in large groups of people. To our knowledge, the IPAQ-SF has been used, but not validated with people with visual impairments (e.g., Barbosa et al, 2019; López-Sánchez et al, 2019).…”

People with blindness and visual impairments have reduced access to exercise compared to the general population during typical societal functioning. The Coronavirus-19 pandemic completely disrupted daily life for most individuals worldwide, and in the United Kingdom, a stay-at-home order was enforced. One of the sole reasons an individual could leave their home was for the purpose of daily exercise. Here, we examined how the UK national lockdown impacted access to exercise for people with blindness and visual impairment. We used a mixed methods design, collecting quantitative data from two established measures (the Exercise Barriers and Benefits Scale and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire), and qualitative data from open-ended questions. We found that, during the initial stages of the lockdown, perceived barriers to exercise increased compared to pre-pandemic levels, driven by factors, such as the closure of exercise facilities and additional difficulties posed by social distancing. Interestingly, during the later stages of the UK Coronavirus-19 response, perceived barriers decreased to lower than pre-pandemic levels. Thematic analysis indicated that this may have been due to participants finding new online methods to exercise at home, in combination with the tentative reopening of facilities.

“…Practicing regular exercise is a beneficial behaviour in maintaining adequate mental and physical health (Barbosa, Andrade, Pelegrini, & Felden, 2019). Persons with disability generally presents lower level of physical activity compared with population without disabilities (Rimmer & Marques, 2012;Engel-Yeger & Hamed-Daher, 2013;Starkoff, Lenz, Lieberman, Foley, & Too, 2017).…”
