CMO guidelines for physical activity for young disabled people
On Wednesday 16 February, the new CMO guidelines for physical activity for young disabled people were published. The recommendations, underpinned by research from Durham University, the University of Bristol, and Disabilities Rights UK, note that the health and wellbeing benefits include stronger muscles and improved confidence. While chief medical officers have previously issued physical activity guidelines for UK children and young people, it is the first time such recommendations have been made for those with disabilities.
The guidelines can be found here and you can download the infographic.
