It’s a fact that may surprise you: disability and wellness can go together

Research has proven that the more physical activity we take part in, the more our stamina increases and the less stress we feel. The result? We feel happier and more in control. Even school performance usually improves.

Check out the evidence

Active lifestyles build resilience: “Resilience” is one of the key factors in helping people cope with their everyday crises and challenges. Studies show that an active lifestyle can make not just your body, but your mind and spirit, more resilient.
“Lean and Mean” is good: Everyone needs to move to keep their heart pumping, their lungs breathing and their food moving in the right direction. People with disabilities are no exception: by boosting their activity levels, their bodies can serve them better.
Activity creates energy: Physically active young people usually have more energy and strength than those who are inactive. Better yet—people who become more active are often surprised to find that they are having more fun!
Energy builds self-confidence: Increased energy helps you take on more challenges. You feel more self-confident and independent, and that new self-confidence enables you to make your own choices about the lifestyle you want to lead!
