Physical activity promotion to persons with spinal cord injury by health and exercise professionals: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Health and exercise professionals (HEPs) are ideal promoters and valued messengers of physical activity (PA) information among persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, little is known about what strategies used by HEPs increase PA behavior in persons with SCI, or what factors influence HEPs when promoting PA to persons with SCI. The purposes of this scoping review were to (1) ascertain the extent, range and nature of the literature, (2) identify strategies used by HEPs that are associated with an increase in PA behavior for persons with SCI, and (3) identify the facilitators and barriers to PA promotion by the HEPs.

Methods

A comprehensive search was undertaken. Search terms were expanded surrounding three key terms: PA, promotion, and SCI.
