Critical Issues and Trends More than 50 million Americans have a disability. These people face enormous physical, social, and attitudinal barriers toward their participation in physical and recreational activities that they need to maintain their health and wellness. Furthermore, the concept of being "healthy" and "disabled" or "physically active" and "disabled" is not a common visualization in the mainstream media. This paper calls for a more inclusive vision within public health messages that target physical activity participation among its citizens, especially those with disability who are at greater risk for developing health problems associated with sedentary living.
