Physical activity is important to increase mobility and function, and to provide well being in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) additionally, with participating sport and recreational activities. It is also important to impact well-being positively and gain a healthy life, via increased physical condition and function. Physical activity can generate positive psychological impacts by improving function and health in individuals and their families with physiological benefits like decreasing the proportion of body fat and increasing fitness levels. In this manner, regular physical activity is important to improve or maintain physical condition and with to health contitions, it is important to improve the quality of life. Therefore, understanding and
evaluating physical activity is important to develop effective physical activity
interventions. Literature emphasizes the importance of physical activity both in
children with CP and normal developing. This rewiev explains importance and
requirement of physical activity in children and youngs with CP.

SEREBRAL PALSİLİ BİREYLERDE FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTENİN ÖNEMİ

Öz

Serebral Palsi’li (SP) bireylerde fiziksel aktivite; mobilite ve biopsikososyal fonksiyonları arttırması, iyilik hissini geliştirmesi; spor ve rekreasyonel aktivitelere katılımı çoğaltması açısından önemlidir. Vücut yağ oranının azaltılması ve uygunluk seviyesinin artırılması gibi fizyolojik faydalarının yanı sıra, fonksiyon ve sağlık durumunu düzelterek birey ve ailesinde olumlu psikolojik etkiler oluşturabilmektedir. Böylelikle, düzenli fiziksel aktivite, var olan fiziksel durumu geliştirme ya da korumada önemli yer tutmakta ve sağlık koşullarının yanında bu bireylerin yaşam kalitelerini de önemli ölçüde geliştirmektedir. Bu nedenle; etkin fiziksel aktivite programlarının oluşturulması, aktivite düzeylerinin doğru değerlendirilmesi gerektirmektedir. Literatürde hem normal gelişen çocuklarda, hem de SP’li çocuklarda fiziksel aktivitenin yeri vurgulanmaktadır. Bu derlemede, fiziksel aktivitenin SP’li bireylerdeki önemi ve gerekliliği ele alınmaktadır
