Many people with disabilities have difficulty getting started in physical activity. There are many activities and workouts that can help them build strength and improve their quality life.

These benefits include a lower risk of developing chronic diseases like stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. They can also help to improve self-esteem as well as reduce stress.

Strengthening

Exercise can help reduce weight, improve mental health, lower your risk for heart disease, type two diabetes, and certain cancers.

According to the CDC, all adults should aim for at least 150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or muscle-strengthening activities two or more days a week.

Many people with disabilities face substantial barriers to participating in physical activity. Patients with disabilities may be supported by their doctors and other health professionals in incorporating regular physical activity into their daily lives.

Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular fitness, also called aerobic exercise, involves a wide range of activities that increase the heart’s ability to pump oxygen-carrying blood to the lungs and diffuse it into the bloodstream.

This results in increased oxygen flow to muscles, and other organs of the body, which allows them to work more efficiently.

Aerobic activity can reduce your risk of developing and worsening conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. It can also improve your quality of life and boost your self-esteem, while reducing the risk of depression.

There are many field tests that assess flexibility. These include the sit-and reach (assesses low back flexibility and hamstring flexibility), trunk raise (assesses upper and shoulder flexibility) and the calf raise. These tests are also useful in various fitness tests, including those in America.

Social
