Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Documented benefits of physical activity include improvement in physical function and life skills for people with intellectual disabilities, thus reducing family burden. The measurement toll of physical activity in foreign countries has been well studied, while it is still in the early stage in China.
OBJECTIVE: To systematically analyze the researches concerning measuring physical activity using motion sensor tools in people with intellectual disabilities, so as to provide reference for physical activity health promotion program in these populations.
METHODS: Web of Science was searched with keywords of “intellectual disability, mental retardation, physical activity, exercise” from 2007 to 2017. The measurement tools must be accelerometer or pedometer.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Accelerometer and pedometer have high validity and reliability in measurement of physical activity among people with intellectual disabilities. 0%-43% people with intellectual disabilities meet the physical activity recommendation guidelines, which is lower than the proportion of typically developing people. Cross-sectional studies show that physical activity is related to body mass index, blood pressure and VO2max. Physical activity participation is a direct factor influencing physical function, while social and environment factors are the indirect factors. Intervention of exercise and health knowledge learning can increase physical activity to some extent. Future studies should be focused on horizontal and longitudinal relationship between physical activity and health factors. The formulation and implementation of the physical activity intervention program should not only pay attention to the pertinence of the scheme design, but also pay attention to the persistence of the intervention time, while the periodicity of the effect evaluation should never be ignored.
