I ett flertal rapporter har det framkommit att det är vanligare med ohälsa bland individer med utvecklingsstörning än hos den övriga befolkningen. Dessutom visade det sig att funktionsnedsättningen i sig oftast inte var den påverkningsfaktor som bidrog till ohälsan. Istället handlade det om faktorer som kunde åtgärdas med hjälp av mer fysisk aktivitet och bättre hälsomedvetenhet. Därför riktades fokus mot skolan och ämnet idrott och hälsa för att finna vad som gjordes inom denna arena gällande hälsoundervisning. Syftet med studien blev således att undersöka hälsoundervisningen i idrott och hälsa på gymnasiesärskolan ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, samt att studera de beståndsdelar som kunde försvåra eller befrämja hälsoundervisningen.
