Barriers to Physical Activity for Women with Physical Disabilities: A Systematic Review

“…Users are therefore more likely to show reduced adherence to exercise without this support [ 70 , 71 ]. It should also be noted that there are differences in social support according to gender [ 72 ]; in one study, it was found that men received more support from family and friends than women [ 73 ], just as in this study, wherein a lack of social support can be observed as a barrier to physical activity. Women’s participation in physical activity was shown to be lower than the participation of men with disabilities [ 14 , 16 , 20 ]; these differences are also significant when it comes to the perception of barriers to physical activity, according to gender [ 14 ], between men and women.…”
