Abstract

Objective: To describe the main facilitators and barriers presented in population with cerebral palsy (PC) and how they help or hinder the practice of physical activity. Methods: A systematic review of the last 10 years was carried out, following what was stated in the PRISMA declaration, for which the Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases were used. The search strategy yielded a total of 99 documents where 11 studies were finally selected. Results: Studies have established that there are a variety of macro physiological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that both promote and inhibit participation in sport and exercise in adolescents with PC. On the other hand, the most common facilitators in the research are the family as the main focus, accompanied by their environment and the early stimulation that they get from an early age. Conclusion: Barriers are a modifiable aspect which can be reduced to empower facilitators that increase the practice of physical activity, being sustainable over time. The main barriers are lack of access, changes in the body regarding the practice of physical activity, environmental factors, lack of professionals who are related to the field, and access to physical activity in safe environments and spaces. Family plays a fundamental role from an early age in encouraging children or adolescents with CP to carry out physical and/or sports activities.
