Physical Activity Levels, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Physical Literacy in Children With a Chronic Medical Condition
Episode 1
Thursday, 24 October, 2024

In this episode of the BASES PESS podcast, we dive into a comprehensive analysis of the study, Physical Activity Levels, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Physical Literacy in Children With a Chronic Medical Condition. Join me as I break down how children with chronic medical conditions can benefit from regular physical activity, not just in terms of fitness but also through improved motivation and confidence. We explore the importance of adhering to physical activity guidelines, examine key findings on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscle power, and psychological factors, and discuss practical implications for healthcare professionals and therapists. Along the way, we’ll also touch on the role of physical literacy in helping children overcome barriers to staying active. This in-depth discussion offers critical insights for anyone working in pediatric health, physical therapy, or rehabilitation, as well as parents and educators. Tune in to learn how we can better support children with chronic health challenges to lead active, healthy lives.Keywords: Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Children, Chronic Medical Conditions, Physical Literacy, Motivation, Confidence, Pediatric Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation.https://journals.lww.com/pedpt/fulltext/9900/physical_activity_levels,_cardiorespiratory.121.aspx
