These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Science
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Visual impairment (VI) presents unique challenges to physical activity participation.
  • Group-based exercise offers potential benefits but requires tailored approaches for individuals with VI.
  • Understanding current research is vital for optimizing exercise interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of group-based exercise programs for adults with visual impairment (VI).
  • To examine the outcomes associated with these exercise programs.
  • To identify research gaps in the field.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic searches across multiple databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, AMED, SPORTDiscus).
  • Inclusion of peer-reviewed experimental articles from 2000-2024 focusing on adults with VI in group exercise.
  • Descriptive analysis of extracted data using the TIDieR checklist for intervention details.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-nine studies were included in the review.
  • Programs demonstrated improvements in physical functioning, mental health, and psychosocial well-being.
  • Diverse exercise types were adapted for individuals with VI.

Conclusions:

  • Group exercise is beneficial for adults with visual impairment across various domains.
  • Limited evidence exists on the impact on daily functioning, social interaction, and exercise intensity.
  • Further research is needed to enhance program inclusivity and effectiveness for meaningful participation.
