To enable NCBI and Vision Sports Ireland to best support children, teens and adults who are blind or vision impaired to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, we are delighted to announce a new research partnership with DCU and the Insight Centre.

In collaboration with the School of Health and Human Performance at DCU and the Insight Centre, NCBI and Vision Sports are currently engaging in a PhD Research Study to investigate physical activity levels of people aged 10+ with a vision impairment and identify key barriers to participation. 

This research will provide the first of its kind, cross sectional baseline investigation of the physical activity, sports participation, and wellbeing of people who are blind or vision impaired across Ireland.

You can hear more about the research project here.

Teens, how can you get involved?

For teens aged 10 – 17, the study will be a dual focused study featuring an online survey, followed by a 7-step physical testing challenge, focusing on the fundamentals of movement such as running, jumping, throwing, catching.

Vision Sports will be hosting three Fundamental Sports Days around Ireland to take part in the Movement Circuit.

  • Portlaoise – 7th May
  • Dublin (MayFest) – 21st May
  • Galway – 11th June

What do I do next?

  1. Register your interest to take part via this link: https://forms.office.com/r/ekPVXg3kU2
  2. Vision Sports will be in touch with the appropriate permission slips and a copy of the survey to fill out prior to the day.

Your teen’s feedback and activity information is vital for Vision Sports and NCBI to continue to grow and best support children, teens and adults with a vision impairment to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you in advance for your support.

If you have any further questions about the research, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via visionsports@ncbi.ie or to Dr Stephen Behan, DCU via Stephen.behan@dcu.ie
