- Free Exercise for Disabilities eBook

Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) have published a free eBook to help people with disability to become more physically active.

Around 1 in 6 Australians (4.4 million people) live with disability. People with disability are generally less active due to the additional barriers they face, and this increases their risk of chronic diseases and poor health outcomes. 

The eBook outlines a variety of disabilities that are common to Australians and the role exercise can play in managing the disability and helping with daily living.

ESSA accredited exercise professionals and allied health professionals have compiled this ebook to both provide exercise advice, and to support and resources people to improve their health and well-being.
