Physical Activity Study of Children and Adolescents with a Disability (PASCAD)

The Physical Activity Study of Children and Adolescents with a Disability (PASCAD) examined the type, frequency and duration of physical and sedentary activity performed by children and adolescents with a disability. The aims included identification of the context in which physical activity was performed (location and time of day) and investigation into the barriers to participation, beliefs about physical activity and the experiences of accessing appropriate opportunities for physical activity.
