“…Third, diary records identified few changes in activity patterns throughout the study, indicating that changes in recovery heart rate may be related to participation in the intervention program rather than changes in other behavioral patterns. Fourth, significant improvements in the present study were in agreement with results from other studies using field tests to investigate training effects on the cardiovascular fitness of subjects with mental retardation (7,9,23,29). It is argued that when taken together, these points provide some support for the contention that cardiovascular fitness improved following intervention.…”

“…Most studies involving subjects with mental retardation have concentrated on identifying differences between handicapped and nonhandicapped peers rather than assessing the relationship between physical activity and the individual. Furthermore, much of the research currently available (e.g., 9,14,23,28,29) has treated all individuals with mental retardation in the same manner, despite the existence of a large number of separate groups (e.g., Down syndrome, autism).…”

“…Investigations of training-induced improvements in subjects with mental retardation have produced conflicting results. Some studies using field tests showed cardiovascular improvement (e-g., 7,9), whereas laboratory-based testing produced no changes (e.g., 5 2 6 , 27). These differences may be associated with physiological efficiency (16,36), anxiety, experience with equipment, pacing techniques, motivation, task habituation, and intensity levels, duration and fitquency of activity (16).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 13-week health-related fitness program on 10 Down syndrome subjects aged 8 to 18. An A-B-A time-series design was used, with data collected every 6 weeks for 43 weeks: The preintervention phase included four data collection points, and the intervention and postintervention phases included two data collection points each. Data obtained included resting heart rate, blood pressure, and results of a step test designed to measure cardiovascular fitness. Analyses of results revealed significant positive changes for resting heart rate (p < .0005), blood pressure (p < .01), and step test (p < .0001). Motivation and the type of program implemented were identified as particular reasons for positive outcomes. It was concluded that participation in regular physical activity may be beneficial for Down syndrome subjects, particularly because poor fitness levels have been closely associated with health risks such as cardiovascular disease.

“…Γιατί πολλές από τις μειονεξίες αυτές, μειώθηκαν ή εξαλείφθησαν όταν τα άτομα με νοητική υστέρηση συμμετείχαν σε προγράμματα εξάσκησης, ειδικά σχεδιασμένα για να βελτιώσουν τη συγκεκριμένη τους μειονεξία. (Buono, McKenzie & McKenzie, 1988 ;Croce, 1990 ;Dupper, 1990).…”

The purpose of this study was to define if active participation of Greek adults with mental retardation (training) in programs of exercise, would contribute to the development of their physical fitness, of the gross and fine neuromuscular coordination and of their reaction time. The sample of the study was 65 people (21 girls, 44 boys) who made three groups A, B, C, with the size of 23,22 and 20 people correspondingly. The members of group A, were people of mental retardation with an I.Q. varying from 38 to 54, (M=42.75 & SD=5.85) in Havie test. Their chronological ages ranged from 16.1 to 30.2 years (M= ). The other two groups with normal intelligence were used as control groups. The members of group Β had chronological age from 15.1 to 28.0 years (M=). The members of group C, had chronological age from 6.1 to 9.0 (M=).People from group A had the same chronological age with people from group B, while they had the same mental age with group C. Initially all three groups were submitted to a test of physical fitness, neuromuscular co-ordination, fine motor co-ordination and reaction time.People with mental retardation, were submitted to the same tests twice more : a), after their seven month-everyday participation to the program of exercise and b).after their three month abstinence from the program of exercise.The testing of the results was done by the use of MANOVA-repeated measures and ONE-WAY analysis.The results of the analysis showed that the group of people with mental retardation achieved important:1. improvement regarding to the elements of physical fitness, except of the strength of the legs where appeared a tense of improvement.2. improvement in its record to the test of neuromuscular coordination 3. improvement in the tapping of the left hand, while the records of the right hand had only a little improvement. Moreover the exercise significantly improved the records of the group in long pins while there weren't any changes in aiming.4. reduction only in the reaction time which was examined to light stimuli-reaction by hand, while also important was the improvement that was made in the number of right delayed and lost answers in all stimuli to fine and gross motor movements. VII 5. performed much worse than people with the same age of normal intelligence in all tests and measures. 6. significantly excelled in sit ups and strength of hands than children of normal intelligence while it was far behind in flexibility, in short pins and at time of aiming completion.So, in conclusion, the participation of people with mental retardation in exercise programs ensures the advancement of their physical fitness and improve their fine eye-motor coordination and their reaction time.

Η εργασία αυτή σχεδιάστηκε με σκοπό να μελετήσει την επίδραση διαφορετικών προγραμμάτων εξάσκησης σε άτομα με ελαφρά Ν.Κ., στην εκτέλεση μιας σειράς αντιληπτικο-κινητικών δοκιμασιών. Στην εργασία έλαβαν μέρος 48 άτομα με ΔΝ 50-67 τα οποία χωρίσθηκαν σε 4 ομάδες των 12 ατόμων η κάθε μια. Πριν την εφαρμογή των προγραμμάτων διάρκειας 2 μηνών, τα άτομα μετρήθηκαν στην δοκιμασία ρίψης ελευθέρων βολών στην καλαθοσφαίριση. Η ίδια δοκιμασία επαναλήφθηκε μετά από 2 μήνες εξάσκησης με διαφορετικά προγράμματα εξάσκησης για τις 3 ομάδες και ελεύθερο παιγνίδι για την ομάδα ελέγχου. Η ιδια αντιληπτικο-κινητική δοκιμασία εξετάσθηκε μετά από 2 μήνες χωρίς την εφαρμογή προγραμμάτων. Από τα αποτελέσματα φάνηκε ότι μετά από την εφαρμογή των προγραμμάτων εξάσκησης, οι 3 ομάδες παρουσίασαν σημαντική βελτίωση ενώ η ομάδα ελέγχου δεν παρουσίασε μεταβολές. Μετά από 2 μήνες χωρίς την εφαρμογή των προγραμμάτων η επίδοση και των 4 ομάδων ήταν πτωτική. Προτείνεται η ευρεία εφαρμογή συστηματικών προγραμμάτων εξάσκησης σε άτομα με Ν.Κ. με σκοπό την καλυτέρευση των συνθηκών ζωής τους.
