Area of Science:

  • Health Sciences
  • Disability Studies
  • Kinesiology

Background:

  • Physical exercise offers known health benefits, yet insufficient activity levels are prevalent in the general population.
  • Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) exhibit particularly low levels of physical activity.
  • Activities centered on corporal expression (CE) show promise in motivating this group towards physical exercise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review corporal expression (CE) programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) over the past decade.
  • To assess the impact and effectiveness of CE interventions in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines across major databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycInfo, EBSCO).
  • Studies were selected based on eight exclusion criteria and analyzed using three quality criteria for interventions.
  • A summary table was created to detail the characteristics of the included research.

Main Results:

  • Corporal expression (CE) programs demonstrate positive outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID).
  • Benefits were observed across both physical and psychosocial domains.
  • The reviewed programs indicate a potential for increased physical activity engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Corporal expression (CE) programs are effective in improving the physical and psychosocial well-being of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID).
  • There is a need to expand these programs to promote healthy physical activity and foster social inclusion.
