Youth with visual impairments face unique challenges in participating in physical activities, which can negatively impact their physical health, mental well-being, and social integration. Schools are essential environments for delivering physical activity interventions aimed at improving the quality of life of these individuals. This review paper aims to compare various physical activity interventions implemented in schools for youth with visual impairments, highlighting their effectiveness in improving physical fitness, social skills, and overall quality of life. A comprehensive review of recent literature on interventions such as inclusive physical education, adapted sports programs, and sensory-based physical activities is conducted. The findings indicate that well-structured and inclusive interventions have a significant positive impact on the physical and psychological well-being of visually impaired youth, though challenges remain in ensuring accessibility and participation.
