The World Health Organization recommends that adults, both with and without disabilities, engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to prevent chronic illness and promote overall health.

Adults with physical disabilities face limitations in mobility and bodily function as a result of conditions such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or neuromuscular disease. These impairments frequently necessitate environmental and social modifications to ensure equitable access to exercise.
