Abstract

Background

There is limited understanding of the context surrounding physical activity (PA) of young people with intellectual disabilities (ID), which has an impact on the development of PA promotion programmes. Peer social connectedness seems to be a vital correlate to focus on, but has not been included in current studies examining the correlates and determinants of PA levels of young people with ID. This study aims to synthesise the evidence on (1) the social constructs researchers have used to conceptualise peer social connectedness in a PA context among young people with ID, (2) the measurement tools that have been used and (3) the relationship between PA and peer social connectedness in young people with ID.

Methods

The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Web of Science, ERIC, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched from 1 January 1996 up to, and including, July 2023 to identify English-language studies, which examined associations between PA and peer social connectedness in adolescents and young adults (13–24 years) with ID. Study quality was assessed using the Standard Quality Assessment Criteria for Evaluating Primary Research Papers from a Variety of Fields.

Results

Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Ten peer social connectedness constructs and 18 measurement instruments were identified. Studies were predominantly focused on Special Olympics participants and unified activity formats. Participation in PA can increase social connectedness, but there is a lack of studies examining whether PA can also be increased by focusing on peer social connectedness in young people with ID.

Conclusions

Results show that peer social connectedness is recognised as relevant to researchers developing and testing PA programmes for young people with ID.

揭示智力残疾青年的体育活动与同伴社会联系之间的联系：定量研究的系统综述。

背景：对智障青年体育活动的背景了解有限，这对体育活动促进计划的制定产生了影响。同伴社会联系似乎是一个需要关注的重要相关性，但目前尚未纳入研究ID青年PA水平的相关性和决定因素的研究中。本研究旨在综合以下证据：（1）研究人员用于在ID青年PA背景下概念化同伴社会联系的社会结构，（2）已使用的测量工具和（3）ID青年的PA和同伴社会联系之间的关系。方法：根据系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行审查。从1996年1月1日至2023年7月（包括7月），检索了Ovid MEDLINE、Ovid Embase、Web of Science、ERIC、CINAHL和PsycINFO，以确定英语研究，该研究调查了ID青少年（13-24岁）的PA与同伴社会联系之间的关系。研究质量采用《多领域初级研究论文评估标准质量评估标准》进行评估。结果：13项研究符合纳入标准并纳入综述。确定了10个同伴社会联系结构和18个测量工具。研究主要集中在特奥会参与者和统一的活动形式上。参与PA可以增加社会联系，但缺乏研究表明，是否也可以通过关注ID年轻人的同伴社会联系来增加PA。结论：结果表明，同伴社会联系被认为与研究人员为ID年轻人开发和测试PA计划有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intellectual Disability Research is devoted exclusively to the scientific study of intellectual disability and publishes papers reporting original observations in this field. The subject matter is broad and includes, but is not restricted to, findings from biological, educational, genetic, medical, psychiatric, psychological and sociological studies, and ethical, philosophical, and legal contributions that increase knowledge on the treatment and prevention of intellectual disability and of associated impairments and disabilities, and/or inform public policy and practice. Expert reviews on themes in which recent research has produced notable advances will be included. Such reviews will normally be by invitation.
