“…Although the sample sizes for girls was significantly smaller than the sample sizes for boys in this study, previous studies on this type of groups have also used genderhomogeneous sample sizes (63-65). To mitigate potential confounding variables, the recruitment of children with ID adhered to three specific inclusion criteria: (1) the severity ratings of ID was classified as severe [intelligence quotient (IQ) of [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], following the severity classification from the Second National Sampling Survey on Disability (66); (2) absence of orthopedic impairment and the capability to engage in physical activity without assistance; (3) and participate in general PE classes in school 100% of the time during the data collection days. Additionally, an exclusion criterion encompassed students with simultaneous autism, cerebral palsy, sensory disabilities, and those with physical impairments.…”

“…Furthermore, the potential of PA to mitigate the negative effects of sedentary behavior cannot be understated. Children with ID often spend significant time engaged in sedentary activities, which can exacerbate their health challenges and hinder their development (25,26). By engaging in regular PA, these children can counteract the detrimental impact of sedentary behavior, promoting healthier growth trajectories and better overall health outcomes.…”

BackgroundPhysical education (PE) class is an excellent way to improve moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). Increasing number of research has explored the children’s PA based on movement during PE classes, but data for children with intellectual disability (ID) is still lacking.PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of MVPA levels of children with ID during PE classes in China, as well as differences of MVPA levels according to gender and grade.MethodsAccelerometers were used to record MVPA levels of fifty-three children with severe ID from 9 to 16 years of age (mean age: 12.60 ± 1.66 years) during standard PE classes.ResultsThe mean time spent in MVPA during PE classes was 8.00 ± 2.10 min, meaning only 22.88% of PE class time was spent in MVPA. As grade levels progresses, time spent in MVPA during PE classes tended to decrease; the fourth-grade children tended to spend more time in MVPA during PE classes compared with the fifth-grade and the sixth-grade (9.15 vs. 7.61 vs. 7.25 min, all p < 0.05). Boys spend significantly more time in MVPA during PE classes than girls; both in the entire sample (9.20 vs. 5.70 min) as well as in each grade (9.76 vs. 6.09 min, 9.35 vs. 5.68 min, 8.31 vs. 5.59 min, all p < 0.05).ConclusionFindings from this study indicate that the proportion of PE class spent in the MVPA of children with ID was lower than the 50% recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and U.K. Association for Physical Education (AfPE). And the amount of MVPA participation varied by the grade and gender as well as by the activity performed. Therefore, in order to help children with ID achieve MVPA goals, educators need to reevaluate the PE curriculum as well as take due consideration of grade and gender when devising new content.

Background Multiple studies have shown that children with developmental disabilities (CDD) often live with unrecognized and untreated pain, consume inadequate diet and have inadequate levels of physical activity. This study aimed to analyze pain, dietary habits and physical activity of CDD in Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia in March–April 2023 within the Erasmus+ SynergyEd project. The study included parents and caregivers of CDD. Data were collected via online survey. Results We included 954 participants from Croatia ( N =543; 57%), North Macedonia ( N =205; 21%) and Serbia ( N =206; 22%). Participants reported that 16% of children suffered from chronic pain related to their condition. The main findings of our study are that chronic pain is prevalent in CDD (16%). Almost half (48%) of participants avoid certain foods for their children. The majority of children (86%) were not on a special diet. Among those that were on a special diet, they were most commonly (60%) on a gluten-free diet. Most (54%) participants stated that their children used nutritional supplements. Less than half participants (45%) stated that the child is involved in some kind of physical activity. Only 17% of CDD engaged in physical activities 5 h or more per week. Conclusion Our findings indicate that chronic pain, inadequate dietary patterns and insufficient physical activity are common in CDD from Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia. Education of parents and caregivers can mitigate their use of interventions that have not been proven effective, such as for example the use of gluten-free diets in CDD.

Background Children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (IDs) are at risk of falls due to balance problems. One way to palliate balance deficits among this population is via core stability exercises. However, comprehensive studies that examine the effectiveness of core stability exercises in improving balance in this target population are lacking. Objective This study aims to summarise and quantify the effectiveness of core stability exercises in improving the balance of this target population. Methods This study followed PRISMA principles and conducted comprehensive searches in six academic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library) up to June 2023. The inclusion criteria were established via the PICOS framework. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, and the certainty of the evidence was assessed via the GRADE approach. The meta-analysis was performed via RevMan 5.4, and for data that could not be pooled via meta-analysis, we used a narrative description of the results of each study. Results Six studies of 1078 subjects were included. The findings revealed that core stability exercises improved the dynamic balance of children and adolescents with ID but had no significant effect on static (Hedges’ g = 1.32, 95% CI [-0.41 to 3.06]) or static‒dynamic (Hedges’ g = 1.35, 95% CI [-0.02 to 2.73]) balance compared with the control groups. The quality of evidence based on the GRADE approach was very low. Conclusions Core stability exercises may improve dynamic balance in children and adolescents with ID, but given the scarcity of studies included, definitive conclusions cannot yet be drawn. Although pooled analyses also highlighted improvements in static and static–dynamic balance with large effect sizes over active control groups, the results were not statistically significant and should be interpreted with caution given the wide confidence intervals. The heterogeneity among the identified studies and the limited number of eligible studies may reduce the reliability of the results, but these findings emphasise the need for additional research in this domain.
