Improving participation in physical or leisure activity (PA) is an important public health challenge with benefits for psychosocial and physiological health. Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) are at risk for poor health outcomes due to decreased participation in PA. CSHCN engage in PA less often than their peers due to functional limitations, lack of opportunity and/or environmental restrictions. Consequently, they have increased risk of obesity, social isolation, and low self-efficacy with long term consequences for health and well-being. Adaptive fitness programs provide CSHCN access to PA participation with modified equipment in a supportive environment.The aims of this dissertation were: 1) to determine if an adaptive fitness program facilitates changes in activity participation among CSHCN; 2) to determine whether self-efficacy improved after program participation; 3) to explore factors contributing to identified changes in physical and leisure activity participation among CSHCN following the program.A mixed-methods convergent design, including pre- and post-assessment using quantitative and qualitative data, was used to assess outcomes of children's participation in the "No Limits Kids" adapted fitness program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Quantitative analysis was used to determine whether changes occurred in activity participation (N=15), performance of or satisfaction with stated program goals, and children's social self-efficacy (N=12). A multiple case study approach (N=4) was used to understand the experiences of the children and their families' and contextual factors influencing program participation.Quantitative results did not demonstrate statistically significant changes in child level of enjoyment, diversity or preference for activities, frequency of involvement, or self-efficacy in peer social interactions, likely due to the small sample. Qualitative findings suggested perceived improvement in function and enhanced self-efficacy among the participating children. Further, families identified important strategies for successful engagement in physical and leisure activities including: (1) social support from caregivers; (2) providing opportunities to participate; and (3) modification of time, routine or environment to facilitate involvement.The unique contribution of this dissertation was its focus on how physical and leisure activity through an adaptive fitness program influences the ability of CSHCN to more fully participate in life activities, thus promoting their health and development.
