“…Even though the Chinese sample reported statistically higher physical activity levels than the U.S. sample, the effect size was small. This finding is contrary to other studies in adults with ID using accelerometers (Dixon-Ibarra, Lee, & Dugala, 2013;Phillips & Holland, 2011) and surveys (Draheim, Williams, & McCubbin, 2002). Draheim et al (2002) surveyed community members with ID and caregivers, and found only 42-47% participated in regular physical activity.…”

“…The weakened body coordination and movement ability in adolescents with intellectual disabilities result from their inability to smoothly control muscle groups in each body part (Dixon-Ibarra et al, 2013). In this study, the physical fitness of the CE group significantly improved after the 12-week CE program in terms of right-left grip strength, back strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility.…”

“…Adolescents with intellectual disabilities have weakened body coordination and movement ability as results from their inability to smoothly control muscle groups in each body part (Dixon-Ibarra et al, 2013), and they are easily distracted, making their attention span short. Therefore, continuous anaerobic exercise may be undesirable.…”

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.

“…A comparison of accelerometermeasured physical activity and sedentary behaviour of older adults with intellectual disabilities to two groups; younger adults with intellectual disabilities and older adults without intellectual disabilities was conducted by Dixon-Ibarra and associates. 9 All three groups spent 60 to 65% of their day (i.e., the time that they wore the accelerometer) in sedentary activity and about four hours per day engaged in light physical activity. Although there were no significant differences among groups, older adults with intellectual disabilities and younger adults with intellectual disabilities spent an average of 10.2 and 21.0 minutes per day in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, respectively.…”

Interventions to promote physical activity for adults with intellectual disabilities

Objective. To describe interventions designed to promote physical activity for adults with intellectual disabilities and the effects on overall physical activity levels and on health outcomes. Materials and methods. A systematic review of eight databases until January 31, 2015 identified 383 citations. The inclusion criteria were: a) the study sample consisted of adults with intellectual disabilities, b) the study implemented an intervention to initiate, increase, or maintain physical activity, and c) quantitative or qualitative data were used to report the effectiveness of the intervention. Six articles from the 383 citations met this criterion. Results. Three studies resulted in significant increases in physical activity behaviour; however well-controlled trials designed to improve weight status by increasing physical activity did not produce significant effects. Conclusion. Overall, the results indicate that interventions to increase physical activity should simultaneously target the individual with intellectual disability as well as their proximal environment over a sustained period of time.Keywords: physical activity; intellectual disability; review; preventive health program; health promotion Temple VA, Frey GC, Stanish HI.

Describir las intervenciones diseñadas para promover la actividad física para adultos con discapacidad intelectual y los efectos en los niveles de actividad física en general y en los resultados de salud. Material y métodos. Una revisión sistemática de ocho bases de datos hasta el 31 de enero de 2015 identificó 383 citas. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: a) los participantes del estudio fueron adultos con discapacidad intelectual; b) el estudio implementó una intervención para iniciar, aumentar o mantener la actividad física; c) se usaron datos cuantitativos o cualitativos para informar la efectividad de la intervención. Seis artículos de 383 cumplieron con los criterios.Resultados. Tres estudios resultaron en aumentos significativos en conductas de actividad física; sin embargo, los ensayos controlados diseñados para mejorar el peso corporal al aumentar la actividad física no produjeron efectos significativos. Conclusión. En general, los resultados indican que las intervenciones para aumentar la actividad física deben dirigirse simultáneamente al individuo con discapacidad intelectual, así como su entorno próximo durante un periodo de tiempo sostenido. state that adults aged 18-64 years should engage in 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each week. Bone-and muscle-strengthening activities should also be done at least twice weekly. Despite the wellestablished association between physical activity and health, research consistently demonstrates that levels of inactivity are rising in many countries. Physical inactivity is the fourth lea...
