People with disabilities (PWD) present a much lower physical activity (PA) and sport practice rate than those who do not present this condition. The aim of this study was to analyze the reasons for physical sport practice in a sample of residents of the community of Madrid with physical disabilities in order to provide suggestion to promote active...
Introduction: Acquired brain injury (ABI) constitutes a significant and growing global public health concern. People with ABI often face a range of physical and psychosocial challenges that span the domains of “body structure and function”, “activity”, and “participation”, as defined by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, a...
Objective:
The aims of this systematic review and meta-analyses were to evaluate the effects of exercise on the functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) of people with acquired brain injury (ABI) and to analyze the influence of training variables.
Methods:
Five electronic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, SportDiscus, and Web of...
Featured Application
This paper sheds light on the intention to design exercise programs for people with acquired brain injury. This proposal has a direct practical application with athletes with acquired brain injury with whom we work with every day.
Abstract
Exercise is an important element in the process of recovery from an acquired brain injur...
People with acquired brain injury (ABI) have long-term consequences, showing low levels of physical activity (PA) and presenting worse self-esteem. Nevertheless, it is proven that exercise practice in this population improves psychological dimensions. The aim was to study if self-esteem in people with ABI in the chronic phase would be influenced by...
