Applications Of Data Science Methods Within A Community-Based Physical Activity Program For Young People With Disability

Abstract:

FitSkills is a community-based program that connects university student mentors to young people living with disability through exercise programs at their local community gyms. Access to exercise facilities is a commonly documented perceived barrier to participation in physical activity for people living with disability, but the problem has not been quantified. We conducted a geospatial analysis using a population cohort in an aim to quantify this perceived barrier. The second part of my research used data collected during the FitSkills trial to determine if completing FitSkills fostered positive attitudes towards disability among the student mentors.
