“…Entre as pessoas com deficiência, a prevalência de obesidade e sobrepeso é relatada em uma taxa mais elevada do que para a população em geral, sendo maior prevalência de sobrepeso em jovens com síndrome de Down, mielomeningocele, deficiência visual, dificuldades de aprendizagem, déficit de atenção/hiperatividade (TDAH) e transtorno do espectro autista (3,4) . Já os problemas de saúde relacionados à desnutrição são relatados geralmente em crianças com paralisia cerebral severa, devido às condições como disfunção motora oral, contraturas articulares temporomandibular, vômitos, refluxo gastroesofágico e refeições longas e cansativas (5,6) .…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Spending several hours every day sitting in a wheelchair is strenuous on the body, 27 as noted in an interview-based study where participants mentioned that standing offers them a way to straighten their bodies out. 4 Interrupting sedentary time with low-intensity activities such as standing appears to have positive effects on health.…”

Purpose: To identify the characteristics of people who use standing devices and to explore their degree of device use, experiences with and reasons for standing, and perceived impact of the use of standing devices on well-being and quality of life (QOL). Method: Anyone with a current prescription at the time for the study in any of five counties in Sweden (n ¼ 545), according to a national register of prescribed devices, was invited to participate in a descriptive survey; the questionnaire was mailed to respondents for self-rating. Results: People between 2 and 86 years old were represented among respondents. Standing time decreased with increased age. Respondents who were totally dependent for mobilization or who had received their standing device more than 5 years earlier used their device most frequently. The most common reasons given for standing were to improve circulation and wellbeing and to reduce stiffness. Conclusion: It is important to pay attention to the experiences of standing for this vulnerable group of people, as the use of a standing device has a positive impact on well-being and QOL.

“…Similarly, a low family income hinders access to recreational activities and as a result, the adoption of a healthy lifestyle (Bedell et al, 2013). Youth with disabilities incur greater risks of developing health problems such as obesity and chronic diseases including hypertension and diabetes (Anderson & Heyne, 2010;Riley, Rimmer, Schiller & Wang, 2008;Rimmer, Rowland, Yamaki, 2007). In fact, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is two to three times higher among those with disabilities than other young people (Badia, Orgaz, Verdugo & Ullan, 2013).…”

Because youth with disabilities participate less in physical activity than young people without disabilities and that schools play an important role in adopting a healthy lifestyle, it is important to deepen our understanding of the elements that foster participation of young people with disabilities in physical activity. The objective of this research is twofold: 1) establish the determinants of participation of youth with disabilities in physical education according to practitioners and 2) document the effects of an initiation and competition program for youth with disabilities on their physical activity. The collection of data using semi-structured interviews was conducted in two phases. The first, among teachers and school-based practitioners (n = 18), aimed to understand their experiences relating to the adoption of healthy lifestyles among their students with disabilities. As for the second, practitioners (n = 12) were interviewed during organized adapted sporting events. Analysis of the interviews shows two categories of determinants, namely determinants relating to school (winning conditions of the environment, the importance of extracurricular activities, and obstacles) as well as determinants relating to the professional competence of teachers (the role of teachers, collaboration between professionals, the benefits of sport and physical activity and obstacles encountered).Keywords: adapted physical education, youth with disability, schools, physical educators Sport Science Review, vol. XXV, no. 3-4, 2016, 135 -158 DOI: 10.1515/ssr-2016 IntroductionPhysical inactivity affects the whole population, including young people. Indeed, in Canada, only 7% of young people between the ages of 10 and 16 meet the minimum daily requirements of 60 minutes of physical activity (Active Healthy Kids Canada, 2012). This trend is even more prevalent among young people with disabilities (Badia, Orgaz, Verdugo & Ullan, 2013;Buttimer and Tierney, 2005; Shikado-Thomas, Majnemer, Law & Lach, 2008). Young people with disabilities are less active than young people without disabilities (Pittet, Berchtold, Akré, Michaud & Suris, 2009;Solish, Perry & Minnes, 2010).According to Anderson and Heyne (2010), adopting a healthy lifestyle is a greater challenge for young people with disabilities. A more sedentary lifestyle among these young people partially explains this problem (Abeysekara, Turchi & O'Neil, 2014).
