Health among college students in general remains a paramount concern. Research shows that approximately 80.3% of college students with disabilities do not meet the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendations of 150 min/week moderate physical activity, 72.2% do not meet the recommendation of 75 min/week of vigorous physical activity, and about 63.1% of students with disabilities do not meet either recommendation.26 Additionally, research has shown that students with multiple disabilities, students with chronic illnesses, students with acquired disabilities, older students with disabilities, women with disabilities, and obese students with disabilities are less active than their peers with other types of disabilities. Healthy lifestyle behaviors can include regularly exercising and maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in activities to maintain positive mental health, and limiting risky behaviors such as drug and alcohol use. For individuals with disabilities, issues related to health and quality of life can be particularly important to understand and address. Adults with disabilities aged 18–64 have been shown to be less active than adults without disabilities, with 47.1% of adults with disabilities being inactive compared to 26.1% of adults without disabilities. Low physical activity can lead to various additional challenges for people with disabilities such as increasing the possibility of acquiring secondary conditions, lower quality of life, and limiting functional independence.
