Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common disorders in childhood that significantly impacts quality of life. This study conducted a literature review of physical activity (PA)-based interventions for children and adolescents with CP, highlighting the physical, cognitive, and social benefits, as well as the factors and barriers that influence practice. The PRISMA methodology was used to identify and analyze the most relevant studies up to December 2024 through specific search equations and the databases Science Direct, Scopus, and Dialnet. Of the 707 articles identified, a total of 62 publications were selected for further analysis. These were subjected to a quality assessment through a checklist based on seven items. The practice of PA guaranteed improvements in balance, postural control, strength, socialization, and self-confidence. On the other hand, some programs, such as Makey Makey, Ballet, aquatic PA, and Matrogymnasia, among others, were highlighted because they promoted an increase in physical practice among the population. However, there are still some barriers, such as sedentary lifestyles (90%), limited accessibility, and a lack of qualified professionals that hinder the intervention and ensure motivation and interest in its practice for those individuals who have not yet begun to practice it. PA is an effective tool to favor quality of life in children and adolescents, as it contributes to their integral development and social inclusion. The need for interdisciplinary strategies to reduce barriers and increase the benefits of PA is emphasized. A joint effort to promote integration in leisure time could promote optimal long-term results.
脑瘫（CP）是儿童期最常见的疾病之一，对生活质量有重大影响。本研究对针对脑瘫儿童和青少年的基于身体活动（PA）的干预措施进行了文献综述，强调了身体、认知和社会方面的益处，以及影响实践的因素和障碍。采用PRISMA方法，通过特定的搜索公式以及Science Direct、Scopus和Dialnet数据库，识别和分析截至2024年12月最相关的研究。在识别出的707篇文章中，共选出62篇出版物进行进一步分析。通过基于七个项目的清单对这些文章进行质量评估。PA的实践保证了平衡、姿势控制、力量、社交和自信心方面的改善。另一方面，一些项目，如Makey Makey、芭蕾舞、水上PA和Matrogymnasia等，因其促进了人群身体锻炼的增加而受到关注。然而，仍然存在一些障碍，如久坐不动的生活方式（90%）、可及性有限以及缺乏合格的专业人员，这些障碍阻碍了干预，并确保那些尚未开始实践的人对其实践的积极性和兴趣。PA是改善儿童和青少年生活质量的有效工具，因为它有助于他们的全面发展和社会融入。强调需要跨学科策略来减少障碍并增加PA的益处。共同努力促进休闲时间的融合可以促进最佳的长期效果。
