Effects of 12-week combined exercise program on self-efficacy, physical activity level, and health related physical fitness of adults with intellectual disability

Abstract: The current study examined the effects of an exercise program on health related physical fitness, self-efficacy, and physical activity levels in adults with intellectual disability. The study used pre- and posttest experimental research design with a control group. Total of 23 adults with intellectual disability were recruited with 12 assigned for the exercise group and 11 for the control group, separately. The measures of health related physical fitness included cardio pulmonary endurance (step-test), body co… Show more

“…An individual with high self-efficacy has a sense of self-control that reduces negative emotions such as stress and anxiety and leads to active participation in exercise ( Huh and Lim, 2009 ). Jo et al (2018) reported a significant increase in self-efficacy through a 12-week exercise in adults with intellectual disabilities, and Kim et al (2009) reported that commitment to exercise has an effect on self-efficacy. Hence, self-efficacy increases the most with experience of success from regular exercise.…”

“…Previously, numerous multi-component programs implemented continuous aerobic training in adolescents [ 22 , 75 ], adults [ 24 26 , 76 , 77 ] and seniors with ID [ 21 , 23 , 78 ]. Also, some studies implemented SIT programs for adolescents and young adults with ID [ 31 ] and with Down syndrome [ 32 ].…”

“…As seen in this study, physical activity level among adults with intellectual disabilities is relatively lower than among those with no disabilities, and this low physical activity level very likely leads to metabolic syndrome and related chronic disease if it is maintained into adulthood. In fact, the prevalence of chronic disease among disabled people is 77.2%, which is more than twice as high as that of the nondisabled (34.9%); metabolic syndrome and diseases that affect physical activity such as hypertension and diabetes in particular are more common ( Jo et al, 2018 ). Using multiple regression analysis, this study found that disability rating and HbA 1c had an especially significant influence.…”
