Context: To improve physical activity (PA) participation in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), an international panel co-created theory- and evidence-based best practices for SCI PA counseling. This study aimed to identify and compare Canadian and Dutch counselors' knowledge, skills, and confidence in using these best practices.

The co-development and evaluation of an e-learning course on spinal cord injury physical activity counselling: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Health, fitness and lifestyle professionals can play important roles in promoting physical activity in groups at risk of developing an inactive lifestyle, such as people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Tailored counselling is a promising tool to promote and improve physical activity levels. To support professionals to effectively have a conversation about physical activity with clients with SCI, evidence-based training and resources are needed.
