      ab: Why you should read this article: • To understand the health and well-being benefits of physical activity for people with learning disabilities • To learn about the principles of behaviour change theories and how they can be used to promote physical activity in people with learning disabilities • To recognise the areas to consider when implementing physical activity interventions for people with learning disabilities. The health and well-being benefits of physical activity are well documented, but it has been identified that many adults with learning disabilities engage in low levels of activity. Behaviour change theories can explain the facilitators of and barriers to healthy behaviours and can result in more effective interventions. This article outlines two of the most commonly used behaviour change theories: the transtheoretical model and social cognitive theory. Using a fictional case study, it explores how these two theories can be applied by health and social care staff to enhance physical activity levels in adults with learning disabilities. The author discusses the importance of considering readiness to change, robust social support mechanisms and inclusive environments.
