Abstract

Background

Online exercise interventions can improve access to tailored programmes for individuals with intellectual disabilities (including Down syndrome). This paper aimed to describe best practices and provide recommendations for online physical activity or exercise programmes for this population.

Method

Two research teams with extensive experience delivering online physical activity and exercise interventions in > 240 individuals with intellectual disabilities, combined with input from participant/caregiver dyads, describe adaptations to online delivery of programmes with regard to development, recruitment, data collection, intervention delivery, communication and staff requirements, based on two specific online programmes.

Results

Adaptations to an online delivery are necessary for every aspect of exercise interventions for individuals with intellectual disabilities. All phases benefit from input from the community.

Conclusion

When the appropriate adaptations are made for online delivery, as described in this paper, online physical activity or exercise interventions can be highly successful for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

包括唐氏综合症在内的智力残疾个体的成功在线运动干预研究：最佳实践和建议

在线运动干预可以改善智力残疾（包括唐氏综合症）患者获得量身定制项目的机会。本文旨在描述最佳实践，并为这一人群提供在线体育活动或锻炼计划的建议。方法两个具有丰富经验的研究团队对240名智障人士进行了在线体育活动和运动干预，并结合参与者/护理者的意见，描述了在线提供项目在发展、招聘、数据收集、干预提供、沟通和人员要求方面的适应情况。基于两个特定的在线课程。结果适应在线交付对于智力残疾个体的运动干预的各个方面都是必要的。所有阶段都受益于社区的投入。如本文所述，当对在线教学进行适当的调整时，在线体育活动或运动干预对智力残疾人士来说是非常成功的。
