“…Two mechanisms have been proposed to explain the balance deficit of young people with intellectual disabilities: (1) the delay in cognitive development that also affects the motor function; and (2) an inactive lifestyle leading to lower physical capacities and functioning . This balance deficit is a serious concern for young people with intellectual disabilities, given that it represents an important risk factor for falling . Indeed, falls are highly prevalent in young people with intellectual disabilities (compared with typically developing peers) and they represent their highest cause of injury (i.e.…”

Exercise intervention results in large and significant improvements in static and dynamic balance in young people with intellectual disabilities. Exercise intervention results in a large but non-significant improvement in static-dynamic balance. Static balance improvement was significantly higher in quasi-experimental versus experimental studies. Dynamic balance improvement was significantly higher in young people with mild versus mild-moderate intellectual disability. No significant differences related to age group, balance measures, and components of exercise intervention were found.

“…Very few studies with limited methodological quality have addressed trainability of balance and, to our knowledge, only one study demonstrated reduced body balance, assessed by means of the Flamingo Balance test, in a sample of 313 world-class II-athletes (Van de Vliet et al, 2006). Hence, it remains unclear whether the poor balance control of people with II should be attributed to extrinsic causes (e.g., their lower level of physical activity), or to intrinsic causes (e.g., the inadequate development of the central nervous system) or to a combination of both (Patikas, 2015). It is impossible in this stage to draw conclusions regarding the positive effects of sport expertise reducing the differences in balance control between people with and without II.…”

“…Reduced balance control in II-athletes, even in the ST condition, is an important finding, as balance control is one of the two most important human motor skills (in combination with gait) required for mobility (Patikas, 2015). Any impairment on the development of these motor skills does not only deteriorate sport performance, but also reduces the level of independence and increases the need for support to perform daily activities.…”

Cognition is important in many sports, for example, making split-second-decisions under pressure, or memorising complex movement sequences. The dual-task (DT) paradigm is an ecologically valid approach for the assessment of cognitive function in conjunction with motor demands. This study aimed to determine the impact of impaired intelligence on DT performance. The motor task required balancing on one leg on a beam, and the cognitive task was a multiple-object-tracking (MOT) task assessing dynamic visual-search capacity. The sample included 206 well-trained athletes with and without intellectual impairment (II), matched for sport, age and training volume (140 males, 66 females, M age = 23.2 ± 4.1 years, M training experience = 12.3 ± 5.7 years). In the single-task condition, II-athletes showed reduced balance control (F = 55.9, P < .001, η = .23) and reduced MOT (F = 86.3, P < .001, η = .32) compared to the control group. A mixed-model ANCOVA revealed significant differences in DT performance for the balance and the MOT task between both groups. The DT costs were significantly larger for the II-athletes (-8.28% versus -1.34% for MOT and -33.13% versus -12.89% for balance). The assessment of MOT in a DT paradigm provided insight in how impaired intelligence constrains the ability of II-athletes to successfully perform at the highest levels in the complex and dynamical sport-environment.

“…Intellectual Disability is a complex dysfunction characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning (reasoning, learning, problem-solving) and in adaptive behavior, which covers a range of everyday social and practical skills (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This disability originates before the age of 18 (Patikas, 2015). Children with intellectual disability are known to present a greater risk for a variety of health concerns, such as greater levels of difficulties with motor development and fundamental movement skills, compared with their counterparts without intellectual disability (Lloyd, 2016).…”

The study explored the effects of two combined training (Strength-Proprioceptive versus Cognitive-Balance) programs on postural balance during single-task and dual-task conditions in children with intellectual disability. The postural balance and the second cognitive-task performances were evaluated before and after 8-week of training in two groups: Strength-Proprioceptive Group (n = 12) and Cognitive-Balance Group (n = 10). Results showed that, in both groups and regardless of the training effect, the postural balance performance was significantly (p < 0.05) altered in the dual-task condition compared to the single-task one. After-training session, postural balance performance was improved significantly (p < 0.001) for all task conditions. After training session, the second cognitive-task performance was improved in the Strength-Proprioceptive Group (p < 0.001) and Cognitive-Balance Groupe (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the combined training programs, Strength-Proprioceptive and Cognitive-Balance, improved postural balance performance in single-task and dual-task conditions in children with intellectual disability.
