    Abstract
    Purpose To describe leisure time physical activity (LTPA) in children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP) and identify barriers and facilitators to participation. Methods. LTPA participation (‘at least one club’, ‘not in club’, ‘any type’) was derived from a national CP register and associated factors were analysed. Barriers and facilitators to participation were investigated through a survey. Results. LTPA participation (‘any type’) was recorded for 54% (n=977) of the total sample. All outcomes of participation decreased with increasing Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level. LTPA not in club for 11-18 year-olds was significantly lower than those aged 5-10 for GMFCS level II. The survey (n=55) showed that disability and disliking help were common barriers whilst parental encouragement and enjoyment were common facilitators. Conclusions. Data from the register and survey provide insight into factors influencing LTPA participation in young people with CP and what may help to increase this.
