Information resource brief
The content should cover:
• The benefits of physical activity and exercise for individuals with disabilities and impairments
• A range of different types of physical activity, exercise, sport, and wellbeing initiatives available locally with contact details
• Organisations that exist to support engagement and delivery, including pathways to participation for disabled and impaired people and programmes available to promote participation, e.g., Get Out Get Active (GOGA).
The aim of the resource is to engage and motivate participants. The focus should be on a range of disabilities and impairments rather than one specific disability or impairment. The resource should use appropriate motivational and inclusive messaging and contain representative images to promote exercise, physical activity, and wellbeing initiatives.

Applied case studies
The participants described in the case studies attend the leisure facility you work in. As an instructor at the facility, you have been advised that you may be required to assist a fully qualified instructor who is delivering an activity session for these participants.
You are required to conduct additional independent research to answer the questions relating to each case study.
Case study A
Jeff, aged 28.
Screening: He answered ‘no’ to all questions on PAR-Q+.
Impairment information and support: Jeff is autistic and registered blind with poor distance vision He can become agitated when his routine is changed. He has one-to-one care support. No mobility or functional issues.
Case study B
Claire, age 29.
Screening: Claire answered ‘yes’ to one question on PAR-Q+ and ‘no’ to all follow-on questions on the PAR-Q+, e.g. Q6b. (no back pain relating to nerves or muscles).
Impairment information and support: Claire has Down’s syndrome, is partially deaf and has hypermobility. She is very friendly and enjoys being the centre of attention. She can follow instructions but is non-verbal in her own communication.
Case study C
Abdul, aged 31.
Screening: Abdul answered ‘yes’ to one question on PAR-Q+ and ‘no’ to all follow-on questions on PAR-Q+.
Impairment information and support: Abdul has spina bifida and is a part-time wheelchair user. He has independent use of a wheelchair (no care support). A pressure sore has been recently resolved, which had been caused by a lack of movement. He has full movement of the upper body and some movement of the lower body but a weak core due to a lack of time in a standing position. Abdul also has poorly co-ordinated use of his limbs. He is not used to leaving his flat.

Assessment task 3.2: Case study and 12-week progressive exercise programme
Task requirement You will develop a progressive exercise programme for a case study using a real person.
The individual used will have one or more disabilities or impairments that:
• Affect at least two of the categories of disability:
o sensory
o physical
o intellectual
• Affect two or more of the following:
o communication
o concentration and behaviour
o movement and/or balance.
You must select a case study that is within your scope of practice, e.g. you hold an exercise referral qualification (where needed). Please refer to the guidance for scope of practice and inclusion criteria for participants
The exercise genre for the case study and exercise programme (such as circuit training or gym-based etc.) must also be within your scope of practice (appropriate qualifications held).
You will complete a full session plan for the participant with changes to the programme over a minimum of a 12-week period.
The plan and programme must include:
• All components of fitness.
• All class components of the session
o warm up
o main workout (cardio and muscular fitness)
o cooldown and stretch.
• Duration of class and timings of components.
• Resources needed.
• A list of exercises for all components with modifications and adaptations to meet specific needs.
• Teaching and safety points for all exercises.
• Adaptations to meet the needs of the individual to ensure they can participate.
YMCA Level 3 Award in Supporting Participation in Physical Activity: Disability and Impairment (610/1559/3) Learner Assessment Record | Version 1.0 | © YMCA Awards 2023 38
Assessment requirement
• Changes to activities and programme over a minimum of 12 weeks (see template provided)
• An outline of how you would support future participant development relevant to their goals and support retention and/or progression.
• Content for daily activity homework to support the programme. You are expected to conduct additional independent research to understand individual needs.
For the case study and 12-week progressive exercise programme, you will be required to complete:
• A rationale for the programme designed.
• Screening information.
• Risk assessment
• Session plan
• Programme changes over a minimum of a 12-week period
• Daily homework over a minimum of a 12-week period.
You can use the programme changes and homework advice template provided in this LAR, or you can create your own.
Work must be your own, and group completion is not permitted. You may be required to participate in a class discussion/viva to demonstrate sufficient planning and adaptation skills. If you fail to provide sufficient evidence through the completion of the programme, your assessor will need to ask supplementary questions to confirm competence.

Guidance for scope of practice and inclusion criteria for participants
Please use the following screening tools as a guide to help identify individuals whose needs are within scope of practice.
Using ACSM algorithm
• Inactive individuals with:
o No CV, metabolic or renal disease – no medical clearance needed
o No signs and symptoms of CV, metabolic or renal disease – no medical clearance needed.
o Known CV, metabolic or renal disease (asymptomatic) – medical clearance recommended and exercise referral qualification (minimum).
o Signs and symptoms of CV, metabolic or renal disease – medical clearance recommended and exercise referral qualification (minimum).
• Active individuals with:
o No CV, metabolic or renal disease – no medical clearance needed
o No signs and symptoms of CV, metabolic or renal disease – no medical clearance needed.
o Known CV, metabolic or renal disease (asymptomatic) – medical clearance not needed for moderate intensity activity and exercise referral qualification (minimum)
o Signs and symptoms of CV, metabolic or renal disease – seek medical clearance and exercise referral qualification (minimum).
NB: Medical clearance being provided does not mean an individual’s needs are within your scope of practice unless additional qualifications are held.
Using PAR-Q+
• No response to PAR-Q+ – no medical clearance needed.
• Yes response to PAR-Q+ but No response to follow-on questions – no medical clearance needed, but individuals may require significant modification to some activities (intensity, type, duration) and may need an exercise referral qualification to support these modifications (minimum).
• Yes response to PAR-Q+ and Yes response to follow-on questions – medical clearance needed, and needs may exceed scope of practice, depending on other qualifications held.
Using Irwin and Morgan – low risk category (stable, controlled conditions)
• Overweight – no other complications
YMCA Level 3 Award in Supporting Participation in Physical Activity: Disability and Impairment (610/1559/3) Learner Assessment Record | Version 1.0 | © YMCA Awards 2023 40
• High normal range blood pressure – lifestyle controlled.
• Type 2 diabetes – diet controlled.
• Mild osteoarthritis
• Mild bone density changes –BMD >1 and <2.5 SD below the young adult mean
• Mild (less severe) stress/anxiety/depression.
Mild refers to conditions which are classified as less severe (such as depression or anxiety) within NICE guidelines and which are not medicated (controlled by lifestyle interventions) and conditions that are not having a significant impact on the individual’s functioning at this time.
Please note: If multiple risks are present, this may increase risk stratification. Individuals with moderate to high-risk stratification are outside of scope of practice for this qualification
