Abstract
Background: Knowledge-to-action gap exists in delivering physical activity (PA) to people with developmental disabilities via online platforms. Although web-based platforms have great potential in facilitating the delivery of PA for this target group, the lack of knowledge regarding web accessibility poses a challenge in accessing PA-related information online.
Objective: This study evaluates the delivery of PA in terms of web accessibility. It also aims to identify barriers and facilitators in delivering PA knowledge to people with developmental disabilities online to improve web accessibility for the target user group.
Methods: The study employs a concurrent nested design incorporating both quantitative (web usability questionnaire) and qualitative data (in-depth interviews). Fifteen pairs of individuals consisting of a person with developmental disabilities and a primary caregiver participated in the study, and three web-based platforms were selected for web accessibility tests and in-depth interviews.
Results: The nested analysis provides a quantitative comparison of web accessibility and identifies barriers and facilitators of delivering PA for the target user group from the web accessibility perspective. Conclusion: The study findings could inform the development of accessible online platforms that distribute health-related knowledge to populations with developmental disabilities. Additionally, they could help enhance the design of other platforms intended for these populations.
背景：在通过网络平台为发育障碍人士提供体育锻炼（PA）方面，存在着从知识到行动的差距。尽管基于网络的平台在促进为这一目标群体提供体育锻炼方面有着巨大的潜力，但由于缺乏有关网络无障碍性的知识，他们在获取与体育锻炼相关的网络信息方面面临着挑战：本研究从网络无障碍性的角度对提供 PA 的情况进行评估。本研究还旨在确定向发育障碍者在线提供 PA 知识的障碍和促进因素，以改善目标用户群的网络无障碍性：研究采用了并行嵌套设计，包括定量数据（网络可用性调查问卷）和定性数据（深度访谈）。由一名发育障碍人士和一名主要照顾者组成的15对个人参与了研究，并选择了三个基于网络的平台进行网络无障碍性测试和深入访谈：嵌套分析提供了网络无障碍性的定量比较，并从网络无障碍性的角度确定了为目标用户群提供 PA 的障碍和促进因素。结论研究结果可为开发无障碍网络平台提供信息，从而向发育障碍人群传播与健康相关的知识。此外，研究结果还有助于改进其他针对这些人群的平台的设计。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
