“…20 Two accelerometry studies in this review used cut-points to assess physical activity intensity. 21,22 Ptomey and associates 22 reported using cut-points from the National Health and Nutrition Survey and referenced Troiano and colleagues. 23 However, Troiano and colleagues 23 used two different sets of cut-points for adults and children and the cut-points for children were adopted from research by Trost and colleagues.…”

“…23 However, Troiano and colleagues 23 used two different sets of cut-points for adults and children and the cut-points for children were adopted from research by Trost and colleagues. 24 Ptomey and associates 22 did not reference the Trost and colleagues 24 paper, thus it is unclear if the correct cut-points were used to distinguish between intensity levels. Unfortunately, the authors only reported p-values which limited the ability to interpret the data and findings.…”

“…All of the studies at segregated schools were conducted outside the US, 27,29,[36][37][38] while all but one of those conducted in the home or community were conducted in the US. 21,22,28,34,35 The US has mostly eliminated segregated schools for youth with disabilities in general, and this population segment is typically educated in the public school system. 39 Interestingly, no US school-based physical activity interventions for youth with intellectual disabilities were found in the literature search.…”

“…Overall, 9 of the 11 studies (82%) studies reviewed reported that the intervention led to an increase in physical activity in the target population. 16,21,[27][28][29][34][35][36][37][38] Ptomey and colleagues 22 did not observe an increase in physical activity, but there was a decrease in sedentary behavior and this could not be attributed to the intervention since there were no experimental and control group differences. Three studies came from the same laboratory and motivated Infants had to take at least six spontaneous steps in a minute, any time during a 5 min testing session.…”

“…Four were based on existing programs 21,22,28,29 and three cited evidence that the programs had been effectively used in other populations. 21,22,29 One used participating in a bicycle riding training camp, 21 two used infant treadmill training, 34,35 three used different types of exercise-based interventions including strength training, 16 walking and snow-shoeing with specific emphasis on self-monitoring, cuing, and reinforcement, 27 and a combination of strength/aerobic activities. 28,29 Two interventions targeted both physical activity and nutrition.…”

Objective. To describe interventions designed to promote physical activity for youth with intellectual disabilities. Materials and methods. A systematic review of nine databases until January 31, 2015 identified 213 citations. The inclusion criteria were: a) the study sample consisted of youth 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. Eleven articles from the 213 citations met this criterion. Results. Nine studies reported significant increases in physical activity behavior. Conclusions.Conclusions cannot be made regarding intervention components that impacted outcome variables, if the observed effects were specifically due to the intervention or if interventions could be maintained long-term. To advance the knowledge base in this area, a concerted effort should be made to increase rigor in study conceptualization and research design. ResumenObjetivo.

Once artículos de 213 citas cumplen este criterio. Resultados. Nueve estudios informaron aumentos significativos en el comportamiento de la actividad física. Conclusión. No se pueden establecer conclusiones con respecto a los componentes de intervención variables de resultado, considerando si los efectos observados fueron específicamente debido a la intervención o intervenciones podrían mantenerse a largo plazo. Para avanzar en la base de conocimientos en esta área, se necesita un esfuerzo concertado para aumentar el rigor en el estudio unívoco.Palabras clave: actividad física; discapacidad intelectual; jóvenes; niños; adolescentes; intervención here is substantial evidence to support that regular participation in physical activity promotes physical and mental health benefits in children. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children aged 5-17 years accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderateto-vigorous intensity physical activity each day in order to improve cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, bone health, and cardiovascular and metabolic health biomarkers.1 Activities should be predominantly aerobic, but bone-and muscle-strengthening activities as well as vigorous physical activities should also be incorporated at least three times per week. Despite strong evidence to support the physiological and psychological health benefits associated with participation in physical activity, worldwide trends indicate that chi...
