A page within Center on Disability Health and Adapted Physical Activity
The Adult Physical Fitness Program provides personalized health-related fitness programs to approximately 15 adults with disabilities, ages 21 years and older. Participants exercise in aquatics and/or a fitness center to improve cardiorespiratory function, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition and to further enhance functional daily living motor skills. The program meets year-round in conjunction with the UW-La Crosse academic schedule.
