ACTIVE ABILITIES SERIES
CPSARA and Paralympian Rae Anderson were invited by Sports NSW to collaborate and create some Cerebral Palsy friendly online exercise videos.
​
The Active Abilities Series is by people with a disability, for people with a disability.
​
During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Murray Elbourn, Disability Inclusion Manager at Sport NSW, identified the scarcity of specific online exercise content for people with a disability – despite the increasing options for able-bodied people.
​
Sport NSW collaborated with Rachelle Sultana, Head Exercise Physiologist at Healthstin, seven incredible NSW and Australian representative athletes from across the physical, sensory and intellectual disability spectrum, and the team from Hustle Media to create workout sessions for people with disabilities.
​
The Program features three levels: 10-minute introductory video, 15-minute intermediate video and 30-minute advanced video of sport participant exercises for a range of disabilities, including Cerebral Palsy.
To view the Cerebral Palsy specific videos, featuring Rae Anderson, have a look below.
