“…Notably, findings showed significant differences in all aspects of quality of life: overall life satisfaction, satisfaction with physical health, and satisfaction with psychological health, emotions, and mood. These results are in line with numerous studies that reported the effect of offline exercise programs [ 36 , 44 , 45 ]. Therefore, this study suggests that participation in the game-based online–offline hybrid group exercise contributed to the increased quality of life of children with CP, similarly to previous studies that reported benefits of the participation in the offline group exercise program [ 36 , 46 ].…”

“…The exercise program focused on a different set of physical activities using metal cage-shaped exercise equipment allowing height and weight adjustments to fix the resistance bands according to the physical characteristics of individual users. The equipment was developed by a team of medical doctors with national funding to support the exercise participation of people with disabilities and was used for exercise programs by wheelchair users [ 36 ]. Each group exercise session was led by an instructor and a support person.…”

“…Each online session included (1) a warm-up exercise (stretching), (2) five movements of muscle-strengthening exercises focused on the upper body using resistance bands fixed on a metal cage-shaped exercise instrument, and (3) a cool-down exercise. Strengthening exercises included shoulder-press, pull-down, and trunk exercises [ 36 ] that were developed to enhance upper body strength for wheelchair users (e.g., Van Straaten, 2014 [ 37 ]). The offline sessions were conducted for group (team) competition.…”

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many online programs for social meetings, education, leisure, and physical activities have been developed and provided; however, children with cerebral palsy (CP) cannot enjoy online programs in the same way that those without disabilities can. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in reintegration to normal living (RNL), social interaction, and quality of life among school-age children with CP after participation in a game-based online–offline hybrid group exercise program. The current study was conducted on 26 children with CP who participated in a hybrid exercise program. The RNL, social interaction, and quality of life were measured before and after the six-week program. The scores of RNL and quality of life were improved (p < 0.05) after program participation. Online or hybrid exercise programs incorporating interactive methods (i.e., competition and cooperating) could enhance RNL and quality of life of children with CP. Thus, well-designed online or hybrid exercise programs should be developed and provided for children with CP to enhance overall quality of life during the pandemic.

“…Interventions including the participation in competitive or collaborative groups, the use of music during exercise or dance-based therapies have also demonstrated their efficacy. For example, playing boccia or hockey in powered wheelchairs [57] has led to improvements in the performance of daily activities in adults [40], motor functions of children [106] and the quality of life of children and young adults and health conditions in general [38]. Significant increases in muscle strength and walking speed were found in [107] when rousing music was played during a resistance exercise.…”

Sedentary behavior (SB) is a common problem that may produce health issues in people with cerebral palsy (CP). When added to a progressive reduction in motor functions over time, SB can lead to higher percentages of body fat, muscle stiffness and associated health issues in this population. Regular physical activity (RPA) may prevent the loss of motor skills and reduce health risks. In this work, we analyzed data collected from 40 people (20 children and teenagers, and 20 adults) who attend two specialist centers in Seville to obtain an up-to-date picture regarding the practice of RPA in people with CP. Roughly 60% of the participants showed mostly mid/severe mobility difficulties, while 38% also had communicative issues. Most of the participants performed light-intensity physical activity (PA) at least once or twice a week and, in the majority of cases, had a neutral or positive attitude to exercising. In the Asociación Sevillana de Parálisis Cerebral (ASPACE) sample test, the higher the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the higher the percentage of negative responses to doing exercise. Conversely, in the Centro Específico de Educación Especial Mercedes Sanromá (CEEEMS), people likes PA but slightly higher ratios of positive responses were found at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels V and II, agreeing with the higher personal engagement of people at those levels. We have also performed a literature review regarding RPA in CP and the use of low-cost equipment. As a conclusion, we found that RPA produces enormous benefits for health and motor functions, whatever its intensity and duration. Costless activities such as walking, running or playing sports; exercises requiring low-cost equipment such as elastic bands, certain smartwatches or video-games; or therapies with animals, among many others, have all demonstrated their suitability for such a purpose.

This document analyzes a survey conducted in three geographical areas in Spain, focusing on centers for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). The study aims to determine the adherence rate to recommended physical activity guidelines, assess if there is a decline in interest in physical activity over time, identify the stage at which this decline occurs, and explore potential mechanisms, tools, or strategies to sustain long-term engagement in regular physical activity for this population. The 36-item questionnaire comprises multiple-choice, open-ended, and Likert scale-type questions. Data were collected on physical activity frequency and duration, daily living activities, and demographics. Statistical analysis identified patterns and relationships between variables. Findings reveal that only a 17.6% meets the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations regarding regular physical activity (RPA), decreasing in frequency or number of days a week, (3.7 d/w to 2.9 d/w; p < 0.01) and duration (50.5 min/d to 45.2 min/d; p < 0.001) with age, especially for those with higher Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) mobility levels. Obesity slightly correlates with session duration (ρ = −0.207; p < 0.05), not mobility limitations. Gender has no significant impact on mobility, communication, or physical activity, while age affects variables such as body mass index (BMI) and engagement (p < 0.01). A substantial proportion follows regular physical activities based on health professionals’ advice, with interest decreasing with age. To improve adherence, focusing on sports-oriented goals, group sessions, and games is recommended. These findings emphasize the importance of personalized programs, particularly for older individuals and those with greater mobility limitations.
