In this thesis we analyzed clinimetric measurement properties of physical fitness tests in wheelchair-using youth with SB. Furthermore, the amount of physical behavior in wheelchair-using youth with SB was quantified and associations with age, gender, VO2peak and Hoffer classification were evaluated. Finally, we described the factors associated with physical behavior in youth with SB and youth with physical disabilities, after which the evidence of interventions to improve physical behavior in youth with physical disabilities was analyzed. This last chapter presents the theoretical and clinical implications. At the end, methodological considerations and directions for further research will be discussed after which the overall conclusion is presented.

Amsterdam is een superdiverse stad met belangrijke uitdagingen op het gebied van gezondheid. Overgewicht, eenzaamheid en de gezondheidskloof tussen de gevestigde bovenlaag en groepen die het minder goed getroffen hebben zijn daar enkele van. De wijk als omgeving waar mensen wonen,werken, spelen en leren biedt kansen maar ook belemmeringen voor de gezondheid. Een integrale, ‘Whole-ofsociety’- benadering – dat is een aanpak met alle partijen inclusief bewoners –biedt aanknopingspunten om de gezondheid in grootstedelijke wijken te bevorderen. Lector Gezondheiden Omgeving Lea den Broeder gaat in haar rede in op de achtergronden en oplossingsrichtingen van de uitdagende gezondheidsvraagstukken in de stad. Het bijzonder lectoraat Gezondheid en Omgeving is ingesteld in samenwerking met het Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu.
