Individuals with childhood-onset physical and developmental
disabilities often have special needs around exercise and physical
activity. However, most books on this topic are written for
exercise science experts who may not always be the frontline
service provider. The aim of this practical guide is to enable
clinicians, and others involved in the provision of rehabilitation
services to train and foster physical activity and physical fitness
across the lifespan. It includes chapters on the principles of
fitness testing and training, how to engage safely in physical
activity, how to measure physical activity levels tracking progress
and what to do if pain arises. It includes disorder-specific
chapters that apply the general principles of physical activity
training to specific diagnoses including autism, traumatic brain
injury and juvenile arthritis.
