Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on physical activity of individuals with a spinal cord injury in Belgium: observational study

DEAR EDITOR, Physical activity is vital to health; hence, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults engage in 150 to 300 min of moderate-intense PA weekly. For individuals with a physical disability (PD), PA rehabilitates impairments, autonomy and quality of life (QoL). It also prevents the risk of developing secondary complications. Unfortunately, individuals with PD, such as wheelchair users, tend to adopt physically inactive lifestyles, due in part to lack of easily accessible PA opportunities. [.]
