What are the benefits of bike riding for children with disabilities?? Numerous studies into bike riding have demonstrated that bike riding leads to improvements in ✅ gross motor functioning, ✅ improved upper limb movement and dexterity, ✅ increased participation in physical activity, ✅ improved unimanual and bimanual dexterity, ✅ improved lower limb strength, ✅ balance and reaction times, ✅ as well as increased levels of fitness, ✅ weight loss; and ✅ decreased risk of lifestyle related diseases. Cognitive benefits include ⚠️ improved cortical functioning, ⚠️ decision making skills, ⚠️ improved cognitive planning and ⚠️ a more positive perception of exercise. A reduction in sedentary behaviours and an increase in physical activity has been found in children with a disability after being exposed to a modified bike.  (Ulrich, Burghardtm, Lloyd, Tiernan & Hornyak, 2011; Oja et al., 2011).  Social benefits include 🤩 greater self- confidence and self-perception, 🤩 social skill development, 🤩 strengthened peer and family relationships, 🤩 reduction of negative stereotypes held by peers, and 🤩 increased social integration, social bonding and friendships.   So many good things from one 'every day' activity that can be enjoyed by all with a Freedom Wheels customised bike.

Why is BATA highlighting Global Running Day? Just as assistive technology helps so many children to learn alongside peers, enables people to thrive in their careers, and assists individuals in accessing essential daily services, so too does AT mean a more inclusive enjoyment of exercise and movement for people with disabilities. Here are some points we wanted to communicate today: - Getting out in fresh air and feeling like you’re part of a social community is hugely important for mental wellbeing. Running in all forms provides this and can benefit quality of life for people with disabilities. - When we ask and understand the individual hurdles each runner with a disability may face, we can work together to help make relevant adjustments. - Everyone has the right to access and enjoy sport and exercise. Many local events and clubs provide support for assisted running and encourage people to speak up and find out more. We’re not at the point of complete inclusivity and accommodation yet, but with continued conversation, we can get there. - Parkrun is a disability-friendly event, with frame runners, wheelchair users, and visually impaired supported runners taking part each week. To find out more about assisted running, check out this article by Women’s Running that lists some of the amazing work of local organisations to improve running accessibility: https://lnkd.in/egpwSiC3 #GlobalRunningDay #AssistedRunning #Accessibility #EquityAndInclusion

Understanding different roles in a team and experiencing wins and losses teach kids respect for others and empathy. They learn to appreciate diverse talents and understand the feelings of their peers. #sports #fitness #kidsfitness #healthykids #teamwork #activekids #fitnessfun #childdevelopment #coaching #allabilities #inclusion #nyc #uws #fypシ゚viral
