Participation in Physical Activity for People With Disabilities

I think society has a huge influence on participation in physical activity, particularly for people with disability.

And what Georgia did was she looked at all of the literature that had investigated barriers and facilitators to physical activity for people with physical disabilities age 15 and over.
