Effect of startup circuit exercise on derivatives reactive oxygen metabolites, biological antioxidant potential levels and physical fitness of adolescents boys with intellectual disabilities

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of starup circuit exercise program on derivatives reactive oxygen metabolite (d-ROM) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) levels and physical fitness of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, and to sugesst exercise programs to promote the health and physical development of such adolescents. Twelve students with intellectual disabilities were divided into two groups; circuit exercise group (CE group: n=6; age, 14.83±0.98 years; height, 163.83±5.78 cm; body mass, 67.08±3.32 kg; %Fat, 25.68±2.42), control group (CON group: n=6; age: 15.00±0.63 years; height, 162.33±4.41 cm; body mass, 67.50±3.62 kg; %Fat, 26.96±2.06). The CE group performed the CE program 4 times a week over a 12-week period. The CON group maintained their activities of daily living. The following were measured before and after intervention: physical fitness by before and after the completion of the training programm, and were measured and blood samples were assessed. The results of the study indicate that the 12-week CE program increased significantly physical fitness (P<0.05). Furthermore, This study proved that the CE program improved physical fitness, and reduced the d-ROM levels, and increased the BAP levels of the adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, it may enhance the health and physical development of adolescents boys with intellectual disabilities.

Effects of a Floor Hockey Intervention on Motor Proficiency, Physical Fitness, and Adaptive Development in Youths with Mild Intellectual Disabilities

“…Youths with IDs in the present study were discovered to have significant improvements in physical fitness components, namely cardiorespiratory fitness and abdominal strength and endurance, after the 12-week floor hockey intervention ( Table 4 and Figure 2 ). Findings accord with several intervention studies on youths with IDs and typically developing youths that have revealed positive effects of PA interventions on several physical fitness outcomes in this population [ 13 , 37 , 38 , 60 , 63 , 64 ]. These improvements in the physical fitness of the participants with IDs may be attributable to improvements in motor proficiency due to increases in PA (i.e., floor hockey training).…”

“…Two studies conducted in Asia on samples of more than 400 youths with IDs identified significant correlations of motor proficiency with muscular strength and endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness [ 65 , 66 ]. The positive findings of the current study echo those of early studies [ 13 , 37 , 38 , 60 , 63 ], synthesizing evidence regarding the effects of PA training on physical fitness levels in youths with IDs. Our results also extend the findings of these early studies by indicating that floor hockey practice can improve not only physical fitness but also other motor proficiency and adaptive functioning outcomes among youths with IDs.…”

“…Regarding physical fitness, some intervention studies of youths with IDs have reported global changes in health-related physical fitness components [ 13 , 37 , 38 , 60 , 63 ]. Youths with IDs in the present study were discovered to have significant improvements in physical fitness components, namely cardiorespiratory fitness and abdominal strength and endurance, after the 12-week floor hockey intervention ( Table 4 and Figure 2 ).…”

“…Nine studies (Boer et al, 2014 ; Elmahgoub et al, 2011 ; George et al, 2011 ; González-Agüero et al, 2011 ; Kim & Lee, 2016 ; Kong et al, 2019 ; Seron et al, 2014 ; Wu et al, 2017 ; Xu et al, 2020 ) focused on promoting physical activity through aerobic and/or strength training exercise programs. These interventions comprised a defined exercise regimen performed under the supervision of qualified trainers including physical therapists, physical therapy students, certified physical educators or personal trainers, and a Tai Chi master.…”
