Effects of Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) as a Health-enhancing Intervention in People With Disabilities

"Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is a well-established method to enhance physical activity in adults in primary care. The prescribed activity should lead to moderate increase of the pulse, such as walking, cycling, swimming, or gardening, and should be performed over a longer period of time in order to achieve a change towards a more active lifestyle. The activity may be prescribed by a physiotherapist, physician, nurse, or other health professional. PAP has shown to be feasible to increase participation in physical activity and to reduce sedentary behaviour in children with cerebral palsy.~Motivational interviewing is used for our PAP with participants with disabilities. During PAP-period, the participants are asked to fill in an activity logbook."
