This resource published in Disability and Rehabilitation, synthesised quantitative and qualitative studies on physical activity and exercise interventions for adults with cerebral palsy. The findings suggest that exercise interventions may improve lower limb muscle strength, although clear benefits for walking speed and endurance were not demonstrated. The review also highlights the importance of enjoyment, confidence, accessibility and long-term sustainability in supporting ongoing physical activity participation.

Physical activity and exercise can support health, function and wellbeing in adults with cerebral palsy, but the evidence on effective interventions remains limited.
