“…Aspects of supporting a healthy lifestyle are physical activity and a healthy diet. According to the literature, physical activity plays a dominant role in supporting healthy lifestyle approaches for people with ID . For example, in one intervention study, a cardiovascular exercise that lasted 30–35 minutes and a 15‐minute strength exercise in combination with 1 hour of health education was offered .…”

“…For example, in one intervention study, a cardiovascular exercise that lasted 30–35 minutes and a 15‐minute strength exercise in combination with 1 hour of health education was offered . Another programme combined aerobic, strength and balance exercises to improve physical fitness and body composition . A third study emphasised the importance of knowing the enabling factors for the physical activity of people with ID and offering physical activities based on that knowledge.…”

This review of literature focuses on health issues for individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID), Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), and Multiple Impairments (MI). This population has two to three times higher overweight and obesity prevalence than typically developing individuals. Furthermore, they have higher risk for obesity related diseases such as reduced lifespan and quality of life. Contributing factors for higher rates of overweight or obesity, effective interventions, and barriers to health knowledge and practice are discussed. Implications and future research needs are highlighted.

Background This study aimed to explore muscle strength production and its underlying neuromuscular characteristics in sedentary and trained individuals with intellectual disability (ID) compared with healthy sedentary individuals. Methods Three adult groups (age: 25.07 ± 0.70) consisting of sedentary individuals with ID (IDSG), trained individuals with ID (IDTG) and a control group (CONT) participated in the present study. Peak torque (PT) during maximal voluntary isometric contraction, voluntary activation level (VAL), surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings, electrophysiological (Mmax) and potentiated twitch torque (PTT responses) of the knee extensor muscles and thigh muscle volume were assessed. Results Compared with CONT and IDTG, respectively, IDSG presented significantly lower PT (−48% and −42%), VAL (−24% and −9%), sEMG (−49% and −29%), Mmax (−41% and −39%) and PTT (−32% and −28%) values. These deficits were reduced between IDTG compared with CONT (i.e. PT: −10%; VAL: −16%; and sEMG: −28%) or did not differ anymore (PTT and Mmax). Normalising PT to thigh muscle volume and/or computing theoretical PT value overwhelm strength production differences between IDTG and CONT. Training background influences the outcomes with IDTG exhibiting greater PT, VAL, sEMG, Mmax and PTT than IDSG. Conclusions Strength production deficit in IDSG was related to both muscular and neural characteristics compared with healthy controls whereas this deficit mainly arises from neural characteristics for IDTG.
