Types of Visual Impairment

Loss of central vision - the loss of central visual creates a blind spot or blurring whilst peripheral vision remains intact

Loss of peripheral vision - central vision remains intact whilst sight to the side, top or bottom becomes blurred

Extreme light sensitivity - this is when the visual system is overwhelmed in response to regular levels of light resulting in discomfort or pain

Common Barriers to exercise for people with a visual impairment

• Mobility - visual impairments can make navigating spaces challenging resulting in an impediment to an individual’s fitness goals

• Limited spatial awareness & risk - the risk that can arise from a visual impairment may put individuals off pursuing their fitness goals

• Accessibility - many exercise settings and programmes are not adapted to accommodate individuals with specialist requirements.

• lack of inclusive programmes - a lack of inclusive exercise programmes can make entry into fitness for individuals with visual impairments and other disorders difficult. Brand Inc Fitness specialise in delivering fitness to everyone, no matter your ability or disability
