Background summary
Children and adolescents with a physical disability often show reduced fitness
levels and physical activity patterns, and they participate less in competitive
and recreational sports compared with their non-disabled peers. A variety of
interventions showed that training programs improved physical fitness levels
and participation in physical activities or sports, however the positive
effects following the training program in children and adolescents with a
physical disability do not sustain.
Study objective
The Sport-2-Stay-Fit (S2SF) Study will investigate if an after school sports
program increase the sustainability of a standardized interval training program
in children and adolescents with a physical disability or chronic disease.
Study design
It is a clinical controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of an after
school sports program.
Intervention
All children and adolescents will participate in an 8 weeks high-intensity
interval training program to improve their physical fitness level. Thereafter,
the intervention group will participate in an after school sports program for 6
months and the control group receives assessment only.
Study burden and risks
The risk and burden of this therapeutic research with minors and incapacitated
subjects are negligible. From previous research is known that children and
adolescents with a physical disability are capable of performing exercise
tests. With exercise and sports participation, the risk of getting injured
might increase. However, the benefits of becoming more active and healthier
outweigh the risk of getting injured. The children and their parents can
receive an overview with information about their physical fitness, physical
activity and cardiovascular health. They are free to share this with their
treating physician and physical therapist, enabling them to take this
information into account in the regular care and sport support.
