Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Only 17.6% of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) meet physical activity guidelines. Engagement and frequency decrease with age, especially for those with limited mobility. Personalized programs are crucial for sustained physical activity.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Physical Therapy
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cerebral palsy (CP) significantly impacts motor function and daily living.
  • Adherence to regular physical activity (RPA) is crucial for managing CP but often challenging.
  • Understanding factors influencing long-term engagement in physical activity is vital for this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess adherence to World Health Organization (WHO) physical activity guidelines among individuals with CP in Spain.
  • To investigate the decline in interest and participation in physical activity over time.
  • To identify strategies for sustaining long-term engagement in RPA for individuals with CP.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to individuals with CP across three geographical areas in Spain.
  • The 36-item questionnaire collected data on physical activity, daily living, and demographics.
  • Statistical analysis was employed to identify patterns and relationships between variables.

Main Results:

  • Only 17.6% of participants met WHO RPA recommendations.
  • Physical activity frequency and duration significantly decreased with age (p < 0.01).
  • Engagement in physical activity was negatively impacted by age and positively influenced by health professionals' advice.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to RPA guidelines is low among individuals with CP, with significant age-related decline.
  • Personalized programs focusing on sports, group activities, and games are recommended to improve adherence.
  • Interventions should consider age and mobility limitations (Gross Motor Function Classification System - GMFCS levels) for sustained engagement.
