Effects of Adaptive Physical Activity on Health-related Fitness of Students With Intellectual Disabilities
Overview
The object of this study is the theory and practice of adaptive physical activity for people with intellectual disability. It focuses on the concepts, paths, and applications of adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability, and systematically studies and discusses the concepts, paths, and application strategies of adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability, so as to provide solutions and support for the scientific exercise of this special population group. The study will focus on the following four aspects: (1) theoretical research on the interventions of young people with intellectual disability (2) analysis of the sports and health needs of young people with intellectual disability (3) empirical research on adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability (4) exploration of strategies for the use of adaptive physical activities. Based on theoretical and practical research, to understand the current situation of sports participation and influencing factors of Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability , to provide a reliable basis for the formulation of adaptive sports activity programmes suitable for the rehabilitation concepts of the Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability; to increase the interest of Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability in sports activities, so as to enable them to master the basic sports skills, have the physical abilities required for completing the basic social activities, and be able to participate in sports activities on a regular basis in their future lives; and to promote their physical health and happy lives, with a view to facilitating their integration into regular education and, ultimately, social integration.
Interventions
- Behavioral Adaptive Physical Activity Classes
The intervention group received a 6 months adaptive physical activity intervention; the control group, on the other hand, continued their original regular physical activity programme for the same period of time and maintained their original lifestyle habits.
Primary outcome measures
- Muscular strength and endurance within Health-Related Physical Fitness are assessed using the handgrip strength test [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Body mass index (BMI) was computed based on measurements of weight and height [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Body fat percentage [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Flexibility was assessed using the Sit-and-Reach test [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Cardiopulmonary fitness was assessed via the 20 m PACER run [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- FMS assessment: The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) for assessing participants' FMS development [Time frame: up to 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Objective measurement of participants' sleep quality using the Actigraph GT3X+ [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Physical Activity Leves: ActiGraph GT3X+ (ActiGraph LLC, Pensacola, FL) triaxial accelerometers [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Quality of life : We assessed quality of life (QoL) using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) scale. [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES): It is used to assess enjoyment of physical activity. [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS): It is used to assess the severity of autism symptoms. [Time frame: up to 6 months]
- Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC): It is used to evaluate the severity of sleep disturbances. [Time frame: up to 6 months]
