Physical Activity & Fitness

NCPAD has developed two new factsheets that highlight advances in the field of physical activity & fitness for people with disabilities in the following newsletter section (http://www.ncpad.org/newsletter/newsletter.php?letter=86&section=1291). The new 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services include a section specific to adults with disabilities & incorporates children & adolescents with disabilities into the chapter on Active Children & Adolescents. Go to the factsheet to see a summary of the adult guidelines & access links to resources from the Department.
