“…Although LTPA is an important component for improving positive psychological well-being and quality of life among a population with chronic SCI [10], performing LTPA alone may not necessarily be sufficient to provide health benefits or raise cardiometabolic fitness [11]. In addition, activities of daily living among individuals with SCI who use wheelchairs, as opposed to the able-bodied, may not be adequate for producing intensities that are health beneficial [12,13], though some studies have reported otherwise [14,15]. Therefore, in a population with SCI, the need for moderate-vigorous intensity LTPA performed over an adequate amount of time and frequency is crucial in maintaining or improving cardiometabolic fitness and muscle strength.…”

“…Only education had a significant interaction effect on PA over time, with people with higher education increasing their PA behaviour more than people with lower education. Previous research also found that people with higher education were more active, but to the best of our knowledge, the association between education and longitudinal change of PA behaviour was not studied before 24 57…”

BackgroundLittle is known of physical activity behaviour among adults with a disability and/or chronic disease during and up to 1 year post-rehabilitation. We aimed to explore (1) dose characteristics of physical activity behaviour among adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases during that period, and (2) the effects of personal characteristics and diagnosis on the development of physical activity over time.MethodsAdults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases (N=1256), enrolled in the Rehabilitation, Sports and Active lifestyle study, were followed with questionnaires: 3–6 weeks before (T0) and 14 (T1), 33 (T2) and 52 (T3) weeks after discharge from rehabilitation. Physical activity was assessed with the adapted version of the Short Questionnaire to ASsess Health enhancing physical activity. Dose characteristics of physical activity were descriptively analysed. Multilevel regression models were performed to assess physical activity over time and the effect of personal and diagnosis characteristics on physical activity over time.ResultsMedian total physical activity ranged from 1545 (IQR: 853–2453) at T0 to 1710 (IQR: 960–2730) at T3 min/week. Household (495–600 min/week) and light-intensity (900–998 min/week) activities accrued the most minutes. Analyses showed a significant increase in total physical activity moderate-intensity to vigorous-intensity physical activity and work/commuting physical activity for all time points (T1–T3) compared with baseline (T0). Diagnosis, age, sex and body mass index had a significant effect on baseline total physical activity.ConclusionPhysical activity is highly diverse among adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases. Understanding this diversity in physical activity can help improve physical activity promotion activities.

“…Furthermore, strategies to increase physical activity may be more successful if they are integrated into adapted activities and/or those that directly align with an individual's goals (i.e., gardening, walking a dog, cycling, resistance training, yoga etc.) 31 .…”

Physical activity is a powerful modifiable risk factor for disease and mortality. Physical activity levels in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) have not been quantified relative to uninjured individuals in a large population-based sample. We aimed to quantify and compare physical activity in people with and without SCI, and to examine the associations between physical activity, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. The 2010 Canadian Community Health Survey (n > 57,000) was used, which includes three measures that assess physical activity levels (i.e., leisure time activity frequency, leisure time activity intensity, and transportation time activity intensity). Bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were performed and odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. The odds of physical activity in people with SCI were 0.43 (95% CI 0.3–0.61), 0.53 (95% CI 0.36–0.75), and 0.42 (95% CI 0.28–0.61), across the three measures of physical activity, respectively. These differences persisted after adjustment for lifestyle, comorbidities, and socioeconomic factors. Physical activity is reduced in the SCI population compared with the general population. This knowledge is important to direct future research and guide the allocation of health care resources.
