Abstract

This study investigated the effects of two physical exercise programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Twenty-one participants were assigned to an indoor group (IG, n = 7; 24-week gym intervention with machine), an outdoor group (OG, n = 7; 24-week outdoor intervention with low-cost materials) or a control group. The outcomes assessed included quality of life, dementia, and functional capacity. The IG significantly improved physical well-being compared with the control group (p = .017). There were no significant differences in dementia score between groups and moments. Postintervention, the IG showed improvements compared with the control group for the 30-s sit-to-stand test (p = .03), timed up-and-go (p = .00), and 6-min-walk test (p = .033) and between moments in the IG for 30-s sit-to-stand test (pre ≠ post; p = .007) and 6-min-walk test (pre ≠ post; p = .007). Outdoor interventions appeared effective for physical well-being, while indoor interventions using weight-training machines benefited functional capacity. No significant effects were observed for dementia/cognitive decline.

研究为期 24 周的锻炼计划对智力和发育障碍人士的功能能力、认知能力和生活质量的影响。

本研究调查了两项针对智力和发育障碍成人的体育锻炼计划的效果。21 名参与者被分配到室内组（IG，n = 7；为期 24 周，使用健身器材进行干预）、室外组（OG，n = 7；为期 24 周，使用低成本材料进行室外干预）或对照组。评估的结果包括生活质量、痴呆症和功能能力。与对照组相比，IG 明显改善了身体健康（p = .017）。干预组和对照组在痴呆症评分方面没有明显差异。干预后，与对照组相比，综合干预组在 30 秒坐立测试（p = .03）、定时起立行走（p = .00）和 6 分钟步行测试（p = .033）方面有所改善，在 30 秒坐立测试（事前≠事后；p = .007）和 6 分钟步行测试（事前≠事后；p = .007）方面，综合干预组在不同时间段之间也有所改善。户外干预似乎对身体健康有效，而使用重量训练机的室内干预则有利于提高功能能力。在痴呆症/认知能力下降方面没有观察到明显的效果。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
