Abstract
Logic suggests that the time required to prepare for sport and recreation activities will be
greater for people with cerebral palsy who have high support needs (CPHSN) than the
general population. However, the magnitude of the time cost has not been quantified, and the
tasks incurring the greatest time costs have not been identified. A comparative time-motion
analysis was carried out to identify and quantify the time taken for tasks required for people
with CPHSN to participate in para swimming, compared with non-disabled swimmers. The
time cost for swimmers with CPHSN was 6.6 – 13.0 times greater than non-disabled
swimmers (ES = 4.1-9.5). Tasks requiring assistance incurred the greatest time costs. The
extremely large magnitude of the additional time-cost for these participants is likely to
generalise to others with HSN and to other contexts. Findings have implications for service
providers, practitioners and researchers in the adapted physical activity field.
