Overview
People with disabilities are less physically active than the general population. Their barriers to physical activity are multiple and include intrapersonal, organizational, societal and interpersonal reasons. Nevertheless, at present, the evolution of their barriers to physical activity and the short- and long-term impact of medical and medico-social treatments to limit them are unknown.
The aim of this study is to describe barriers to physical activity, or disability-related underperformance factors in competitive sports, in patients with cognitive, neuromotor or sensory impairments during aging.
