Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yaru Hao; Rizal Razman – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Background: While socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to be an important determinant of sedentary behaviour (SB) and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in typically developing children, similar data on those with intellectual disability (ID) are lacking. This study explored the association of SES with SB and MVPA among…

Motor competence is important for lifelong physical activity (PA). The current study aimed to examine associations between PA and motor competence. In total, 43 children aged 7--12 years with intellectual disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorder completed anthropometric measures, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2, and wore a…

Schluchter, Thierry; Nagel, Siegfried; Valkanover, Stefan; Eckhart, Michael – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: Reciprocal relationships exist between motor competencies, physical activity and self-concept. Aims: Using a structural equation model, this study examined whether these relationships also appear in children with intellectual disabilities, how they can be validly measured, and if there are differences between children with and without…

Wouters, Marieke; Evenhuis, Heleen M.; Hilgenkamp, Thessa I. M. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
Background: Regular participation of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilites in physical activity is important to maintain good health and to acquire motor skills. The aim of this study was to investigate the habitual physical activity in these children. Methods: Sixty-eight children and adolescents (2-18 years) with a…

Gawlik, Krystyna; Zwierzchowska, Anna; Celebanska, Diana – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2018
Introduction: This study assessed overweight, obesity and lipid profiles in adults with intellectual disability and compared these metrics with their physical activity. Materials and Method: Basic somatic parameters, lipid profile and weekly physical activity were examined in 27 adults with moderate intellectual disability. Chi-square independence…

Examining Association between Reported High Cholesterol and Risk Factors in Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD): A Five-Year Follow-Up
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Murthy, Sumithra; Hsieh, Kelly – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are at a greater risk of developing high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. We examined whether physical inactivity, obesity, and diabetes were predictive of reported high cholesterol and whether there were any mediating effects of diabetes on the relationship between obesity and…

Object Control Skills Influence the Physical Activity of Children with Intellectual Disability in a Developing Country: The Philippines
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Eguia, Kathlynne F.; Capio, Catherine M.; Simons, Johan – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2015
Background: Children with intellectual disability (ID) tend to have difficulties in reaching developmental milestones at predictable rates, including fundamental movement skills (FMS) proficiency. Low FMS proficiency tends to have a negative association with physical activity (PA) engagement. This study examined whether FMS components (locomotor,…
