Summary

This trial is testing a new program to help young people with disabilities stay fit, by providing accessible running programs at community locations.

This trial is for children with mobility challenges due to conditions like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or motor skills disorders. They should be able to follow simple commands and not have behaviors that could endanger others. Kids who have a medical condition making exercise unsafe cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests an adapted after-school running program called 'Chicago Run' designed for kids with mobility issues. It aims to improve physical fitness by providing accessible exercise options both at school and outside of it.
What are the potential side effects?
