Physical activity in a total population of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy

► This total population study of children with CP included all GMFCS-E&R levels. ► Characteristics were identified associated with physical school and leisure activities. ► GMFCS level III and thinness reduced the odds for physical leisure activities. ► GMFCS level V reduced the odds significantly for participation in PE at school. ► Gender and epilepsy did not influence the odds for physical activities.
