However, most books on this topic are written for exercise science experts who may not always be the frontline service provider. This book provides clear and evidence-based information on how to evaluate, train, and foster physical activity and fitness in individuals with childhood-onset disabilities safely across the lifespan. It is written for frontline service providers, such as clinicians and other rehabilitation professionals, as well as individuals with childhood-onset physical and developmental disabilities and their families. The authors thereby respond to specific needs and enable multiple parties to lead more physically active lives. Themes include physical fitness and activity assessment and training, safe engagement, measurement of activity levels and progress, and responses to pain. It includes disorder-specific chapters that apply the general principles of physical activity training to specific diagnoses including autism and juvenile arthritis. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: An Orientation to the Book and How to Use It 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDésirée B Maltais and Reidun B Jahnsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Principles of Health-Related Physical Fitness Assessment and Training 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTim Takken, Olaf Verschuren, and Erik H Hulzebos\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Safety Considerations 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaakon Dalen and Reidun B Jahnsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Principles of Measuring Physical Activity 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarol Maher and Dot Dumuid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 How to Promote a Physically Active Lifestyle Across the Lifespan 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIne Wigernaes, Berit Gjessing, Anne Ottestad, and Kjersti Syvertsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Cerebral Palsy 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDésirée B Maltais, Reidun B Jahnsen, and Maria Terese Engdahl-Høgåsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Developmental Coordination Disorder 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSara King-Dowling, Jeffrey D Graham, and John Cairney\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Spina Bifida and Childhood Acquired Spinal Cord Injury 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAna-Marie Rojas and Shubhra Mukherjee\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Childhood-Onset Neuromuscular Conditions 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCraig Campbell and Katy de Valle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Intellectual Disability 163\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnne-Stine Dolva, Roald Undlien, Kaja Giltvedt, and Andreas T Sandfossen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Autism Spectrum Disorder 181\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIne Wigernaes and Ellen K Munkhaugen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis 199\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKristine Risum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDésirée B.
