Objectives: To describe objectively determined sedentary and activity outcomes (volume and pattern) and their associations with cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in individuals with and without mobility disability.
Design: Cross-sectional
Setting: Population based
Participants: Community-dwelling older adults (≥60) living in the United States who were participants in the 2003 to 2004 or 2005 to 2006 National Health ...
Background: Adults with intellectual disability (ID) are physically very inactive. This study will compare two approaches to increasing physical activity in adults with ID: a lifestyle physical activity (light-moderate intensity) approach and a structured exercise (moderate-vigorous intensity) approach. The trial will compare the short-term (3-month) and long-term (9-month) outcomes and ...
Introduction: Very little is known about physical activity (PA) and PA patterns measured with objective methods among children with intellectual disability (ID).
Purpose: To investigate PA and PA patterns among Icelandic school children with mild-to-severe ID.
Methods: A sample of 91 children with ID and a randomly selected age- and sex-matched ...
Introduction: Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) have low physical activity (PA) levels (PAL) and daily energy expenditure (DEE)(1;2). Aging process begins earlier in adults with ID(3). Nowadays it is possible to assess PAL, intensity, steps and DEE objectively through accelerometry in this population(4). Purpose: To analyze the PAL of adults (...
Background: Adults with intellectual disability (ID) are less physically active than persons without ID (WID). However, very little is known about physical activity (PA) patterns of ID children and adolescents.
Purpose: To investigate PA patterns of Icelandic primary school children with mild-to-severe ID.
Methods: Anthropometric measurements were obtained from 91 ID ...
Objective: To investigate whether objectively measured time spent in light intensity physical activity is related to incident disability and to disability progression.
Design: Prospective multisite cohort study from September 2008 to December 2012.
Setting: Baltimore, Maryland; Columbus, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA.
Participants: Disability onset cohort of 1680 community dwelling ...
Adults without intellectual disability (WID) are more active than persons with intellectual disability (ID). Very little is known about physical activity (PA) patterns of ID children, however.
Purpose To investigate PA patterns of Icelandic primary school children with mild-to-severe ID.
Methods Anthropometric measurements were obtained among 71 ID children (47 boys) and 70 ...
