Abstract
The walking activity of men and women with mental retardation residing in community settings was described. Participants were 38 women (M age=.7, SD=9.5) and 65 men (M age=35.9, SD=11.2). They wore pedometers for 7 days. A 2 x 2 factorial ANOVA indicated no significant gender differences in total step counts or between participants with and those without Down syndrome. A post-hoc analysis revealed that participants walked less on Saturday than during the weekdays. Only 21.1% of the women and 21.5% of the men with mental retardation accumulated the recommended 10,000 steps per day.
