“…This result is comparable to that of many other studies, where the BMI and waist was found to be relatively stable [20]. In Elmahgoub's study the significant decrease in BMI after the combined exercise training program may be due to the difference in the population in that study [1], which involved adolescents who might still be growing, while the participants in our study were middle-aged, old, or wheelchair bound. A different exercise training mode may be another possible explanation of the lack of significant change in our study.…”

“…Yet their scores on the BBS before the program was 49.87 ± 9.57-slightly higher than the cut-off point for people with a high risk of falling [16]. It is suggested that, after the present exercise training mode, some other measures be used to address improvements or changes in aerobic capacity and exercise endurance, such as the 6-minute walking test, exercise endurance with aerobic steps, the strength of specific muscle groups, muscle fatigue resistance and heart rate, and so on [1].…”

“…Elmahgoub et al conducted an exercise intervention that combined strengthening and aerobic endurance exercises for overweight and obese adolescents with intellectual disabilities [1]. The results showed that the intervention led to a significant decrease in the body mass index, waist circumference, and fat mass of the participants.…”

“…Elmahgoub et al [13] found that BMI and fat mass reduction were associated with lean body mass increase, lipid profile improvement and physical fitness enhancement in intellectually disabled adolescents who had participated in physical exercise. Our findings confirm the relationship between physical fitness and somatic parameters.…”

Introduction. Physical fitness is a resultant of the efficiency of adaptive mechanisms for physical effort. People with intellectual disabilities may exhibit limited adaptive capacities, not only regarding their mental development, but also physiological, social and emotional development. Dysfunctions of the central nervous system observed in individuals with intellectual disabilities cause difficulties in gaining movement experience as well as problems with coordination and kinesthetic sense. Thus, intellectual disability might cause low physical activity and, consequently, low physical fitness. Objective. The aim of the present investigations was to evaluate aerobic capacity of intellectually disabled adults and determine its potential relationships with the degree of intellectual disability, somatic parameters, age and gender. Materials and method. The study group consisted of 85 intellectually disabled adults aged 20 to 40 years. The investigations were based on direct observation of the participants. The following somatic parameters were measured: body height and weight, waist and hip circumference, body fat percentage, body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio. Physical fitness was evaluated based on PWC170; VO2max was also calculated. Qualitative assessment of physical fitness level was carried out using Astrand's classification (with respect to age and gender). Results. 30% of women and 46.3% of men had very low level of aerobic capacity. Absolute values of PWC 170 and VO 2max were significantly higher in men. However, relative values expressed in millilitres of oxygen per kilogram of body weight did not reveal statistically significant inter-gender differences. Age and degree of intellectual disability did not significantly influence the level of physical fitness. Multiple regression analysis to estimate VO 2max /kg revealed a negative correlation with %FAT and WHR. Conclusions. 1. A large sample of the study population (30% female, 46.3% male) showed very low levels of aerobic capacity. 2. Our investigations did not demonstrate a relationship between physical fitness and age or the degree of intellectual disability. Gender turned out to be a differentiating factor but only for the absolute PWC 170 and VO2max. 3. The level of physical fitness was significantly related to somatic parameters including body mass, waist and hips circumference, percentage of body fat, BMI and WHR.

“…This term is used to characterize the method through which aerobic and resistance exercises are performed in the same training session 10 . Endurance training, resistance training and the combination of endurance and resistance training present positive influence in the physical and metabolic fitness 11 . We firstly evaluated the variables of a physical training program and subsequently a concurrent training program was designed.…”

Objective: To examine the effect of 12 weeks of (3 days/week) concurrent training and 4 weeks of detraining on serum adiponectin concentrations and physical fitness levels in obese boys without dietary intervention. Methods: 24 healthy boys, 11-13 years old with body mass index >28 voluntarily participated in the study. They were divided into two groups, experimental (n = 12) and control (n = 12). results: Adiponectin concentrations after 12 weeks presented significant decline in both experimental and control group compared with the baseline (p < 0.05). VO 2 peak, flexibility, strength, endurance of sit-ups and agility significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). It was shown that after a 4-week detraining, serum adiponectin did not significantly change in the experimental group and that beneficial physical fitness was gradually decreased. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the beneficial effects of exercise training on physical fitness are temporary. Since the process of adaptation is reversible, it seems that adiponectin concentrations were inevitably affected by morphological and hormonal changes that occurred during puberty in boys.
