Despite the recognized benefits of physical activity (PA) for children and adolescents with disabilities (CAWD), collective information on this is lacking in Lithuania. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current "state of the nation" PA levels of CAWD, based on the 10 indicators from the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance Global Matrix 4.0 methodology. Scientific articles, practical reports, and published theses related to the 10 indicators from the Global Matrix 4.0 on CAWD age 6-19 years were reviewed, and data were converted to grades from A to F. (A) Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analysis was carried out to interpret the grades by four experts. Data on organized sport participation (F), school (D), community & environment (D), and government (C) were available. Data on other indicators are largely missing yet are needed for policymakers and researchers to be aware of the current state of PA among CAWD.
尽管身体活动(PA)对残疾儿童和青少年有公认的益处,但立陶宛缺乏关于这方面的综合信息。本研究的目的是根据“积极健康儿童全球联盟全球矩阵 4.0”方法的 10 项指标,调查残疾儿童和青少年目前的 PA 水平“现状”。审查了与残疾儿童和青少年年龄 6-19 岁的全球矩阵 4.0 中的 10 项指标相关的科学文章、实践报告和已发表的论文,并将数据转换为从 A 到 F 的等级。(A)由四位专家对优势、劣势、机会和威胁进行分析,以解释等级。关于组织体育参与(F)、学校(D)、社区和环境(D)以及政府(C)的数据是可用的。其他指标的数据在很大程度上缺失,但政策制定者和研究人员需要了解残疾儿童和青少年目前的 PA 状况。
