This American College of Sports Medicine expert consensus statement provides an evidence-based summary of (i) the impact of physiological factors, physical activity guidelines, and barriers on physical activity participation and prescription for individuals with disabilities; (ii) three consensus statements derived from research evidence; and (iii) five practical recommendations for prescribing and designing physical activity programs tailored to adults with disabilities, based on an integration of research evidence with expert consensus.
