Creating an Inclusive Fitness Club and Sector: An IHRSA E-book
-
Many people don't get enough physical activity to meet global or national activity recommendations, and data suggests that people with disabilities are less active than peers without disabilities.
These findings don't mean people with disabilities are not interested in exercise, or your club. It merely reminds us of the barriers to exercise they face.
While clubs alone may not be able to address every barrier a person with a disability might face, we do have the power to create a more inclusive industry. We can help people of all abilities achieve high-quality participation in sports and fitness, and make sure no one feels unwelcome or intimidated.
This e-book is the starting point for closing any remaining knowledge gaps on the topic of universal inclusion and can help you create a culture of inclusivity in your club.
