“…The same authors also found differences in the strength of the musculature involved in AP and ML displacements, indicating a greater activation of these muscles. In our study, muscle strength was not assessed, but in a previous study, we observed a high level of activation of the musculature involved in the MLD (Massó-Ortigosa et al 2018). In that study, we did not assess the musculature involved in a static standing position.…”

“…Research with the premise of evaluating static balance in people with ID shows a comparison of the visual condition of open eyes (OE) and closed eyes (CE), taking into account that some people with ID have moderate and/or severe visual impairment and even hearing loss (Klavina & Jekabsone 2015;Klavina et al 2017). The visual condition of OE and CE in the COP can be a determining factor in the displacements of the COP (Cimolin et al 2011;Rigoldi et al 2011;Wang et al 2012;Villarroya et al 2013;Biec et al 2014;Gutiérrez-Vilahú et al 2016;Massó-Ortigosa et al 2018).…”

“…Dance-based physical activity training for people with ID and DS can bring great benefits at a functional, cognitive and social level (Gutiérrez-Vilahú et al 2016;Massó-Ortigosa et al 2018;Ramos-Paiva et al 2021). Adapted or inclusive dance programmes significantly affect motor development and performance (Moraru et al 2014;Reinders et al 2015).…”

BackgroundIndividuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) often present deficiencies in motor, balance and postural control. On the other hand, the practice of physical activity and dance usually reduces these deficiencies. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare the control of the centre of pressure (COP) in people with Down syndrome (DS) or other causes of ID in relation to people without disabilities and to observe the influence of vision and the practice of dance.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study analyses the COP in a static standing position with open and closed eyes in four study groups. A total of 273 people were recruited (80 adults without ID, 46 adults with DS, 120 adults with other causes of ID and 27 dancers with DS).ResultsA greater area of oscillation and path of the COP was observed in the participants with ID compared with the participants without ID, especially in the sway area of the COP. The oscillation speed of the COP was also higher. When analysing the displacement of the COP, anteroposterior and mediolateral components, there were also differences, except when comparing the group of dancers with DS with respect to the group without ID. The visual condition only influenced the group of participants without disabilities.ConclusionsThe results of our study show that there is a less efficient static postural control in people with ID, as greater displacements were observed in the COP of the participants with ID. The differences in some specific variables that analyse the displacement of the COP were smaller when comparing the group of dancers with DS and the individuals without ID.

“…On the one hand, among the studies that focus on the improvement in physical condition in a generic way, three analyzed the improvement in balance [ 48 , 53 , 58 ]; four dealt with knowledge of one’s own body (bodily mobility, perception, postural control and/or body expression) [ 42 , 44 , 45 , 47 ]; two evaluated basic physical skills [ 49 , 56 ]; and three studied basic physical abilities, taking into account aspects such as Body Mass Index (BMI), endurance and jumping [ 52 ], strength and flexibility [ 46 ] and caloric expenditure [ 51 ].…”

The benefits of physical exercise on human health are widely known. However, the level of physical activity in the majority of the population is considered insufficient. People with intellectual disabilities (ID), in particular, show this lack of physical activity to a greater extent. It has been noted that the promotion of activities focused on corporal expression (CE) stimulates the motivation to carry out physical exercise in this population group. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the last ten years of CE programs carried out in people with ID. The criteria established in the PRISMA statement were followed in the literature search. The databases consulted were Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, PsycInfo and Elton B. Stephens Company (EBSCO). Eight exclusion criteria were established for the selection of articles. For the analysis of the selected research, three quality criteria for interventions were established. Subsequently, a summary table with the characteristics of each study was made. In conclusion, it can be stated that CE programs in people with ID report benefits at both physical and psychosocial levels. It is necessary to extend this approach for the promotion of healthy physical activity that advocates social inclusion.
