BRK 2: Sedentary Behavior versus Physical Inactivity in Cerebral Palsy: What are the Implications for Chronic Disease Risk?

Learning Objectives:
 1) Understand fundamental differences between currently accepted definitions of “sedentary behavior” and “physical inactivity,” as well as the challenges in applying these to the care and study of individuals with CP.
2) Describe findings from a new meta-analysis that characterizes the age- and sex-specific patterns of sedentary behaviors and physical activity across GMFCS levels.
3) Delineate new findings pertaining to the increased prevalence of chronic diseases in CP, such as diabetes, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and arthritis.
4) Understand the dose-response relationship between level of gross motor dysfunction, volume of activity participation, and time spent in sedentary behavior.
