Abstract
Background: The annual health burden of physical inactivity in the UK is estimated to be £1.06 billion. The World Health Organisation recommendations are for adults to be engaged in moderate intensity physical activity for at least half an hour a day on five days a week. It is possible that there are inherent conditions which influence physical activity participation. Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)/Dyspraxia are noted to be less physically active than their peers. DCD/Dyspraxia is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting motor function and organisation; continues into adulthood and associated with Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS). JHS is a multisystemic disorder characterised by chronic pain, musculoskeletal and autonomic symptoms and fatigue.
