CHAIN Online Cycle Training Program for Practitioners and Coaches
The University of Melbourne and Disability Sport & Recreation (DSR) alongside multi-sector collaborators from cycling, education, disability, and health sectors have developed the CHAIN online training program.
CHAIN (Cycling through Health coaching, Adaption, Inclusion and Networks) is an online training program which aims to support practitioners and coaches with the knowledge and skills to provide evidence-informed cycling interventions for children and young people with disability.
We are inviting Victorian based allied health professionals, teachers, cycling coaches (cycling and triathlon) and sports and recreation practitioners to participate in a study to test the initial feasibility and experience of using CHAIN.
