Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

653
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

In the United States, 25% of the general population suffers from one or another type of disability. Ambulatory disabilities, or mobility impairments, represent the most common subcategory, comprising 14% of the country's populace. Different mobility-assistive devices, ranging from canes to scooters, enable increased independence and improved quality of life for those suffering from...

Precise measurement of neurological and neuropsychological impairment and disability in multiple sclerosis is challenging. We report methodologic details on a new test, the Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test (MSPT). This new approach to the objective of quantification of MS related disability provides a computer-based platform for precise, valid measurement of MS...

The effect of short-term resistance training on elderly people was investigated through the simultaneous use of several methods. Compared to a control group, many improvements were seen, including on muscle aerobic capacity, glucose tolerance, strength, power, and muscle quality (i.e., protein involved in cell signaling and muscle fiber type...

In addition to the regular checks of a physical exam, examinations for patients who use wheelchairs should be adapted to address their specific needs. This ensures that the patient's mobility, injury risk, and quality of life are not threatened by extended periods of sitting, potentially without proper weight shifts. Such examination needs healthcare providers that understand these...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A 12-week web-based exercise program improved waist circumference in individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) post-intervention. However, long-term physical activity gains were not sustained, highlighting the need for ongoing support.

Area of Science:

  • Health and Exercise Science
  • Disability Studies
  • Behavioral Health

Background:

  • Physical activity is vital for preventing noncommunicable diseases.
  • Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) face challenges meeting physical activity recommendations.
  • Long-term follow-up is essential for assessing intervention effectiveness in ID populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effects and experiences of a 12-week web-based exercise program for individuals with ID.
  • To assess changes in body composition, physical activity, and waist circumference.
  • To understand long-term adherence and sustainability of exercise behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-method longitudinal follow-up study.
  • 12-week web-based exercise intervention.
  • Measurements of body composition, physical activity, and waist circumference pre- and post-intervention, and at 12-month follow-up.
  • Semistructured interviews for qualitative experience analysis.
  • Repeated measures ANOVA for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Post-intervention, a significant reduction in waist circumference was observed compared to pre-intervention.
  • No significant changes in physical activity or body composition were sustained at the 12-month follow-up.
  • Participant experiences varied, with some reporting health benefits and motivation, while others lacked motivation and awareness of continued exercise options.

Conclusions:

  • Web-based exercise programs show potential for improving physical activity in individuals with ID.
  • Sustaining physical activity gains long-term remains a challenge for this population.
  • Tailored interventions with structured support and engagement strategies are crucial for lasting behavior change in individuals with ID.
