Abstract
Optimal level of physical activities can prevent chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) in general population and disables. There are more than 600,000 disables in Thailand. Limitation of movement from disabilities can lead this population into low physical activities, low quality of life, risk of NCD and short life expectancy. The purpose of this study was to survey physical activity level in 160 physical disables at the Redemptorist Vocational School using the Physical Activity Scale for Physical Disability (PASIPD). This questionnaire had high internal consistency (Cronbach α Coefficient = 0.89). Respondents in this study had metabolism level at 22.8±20.27 MET hours/day and spent 3-5 times a week on stationary activities such as sleeping, watching television, playing computer games. Other activities were low level of physical activity; such as stretching, standing training, physical and occupation therapy. These activities were done more frequent than moderate and strenuous sports or exercise for muscle strength and endurance.
