Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Currently, there is a paucity of quality research within the field of health science with a focus on persons with intellectual disabilities, and especially how longer lasting periods of varied physical activity affects the target group. There is a lack of insight, in how persons with intellectual disabilities learns and retains movement skills. Thus, the research group behind this project will investigate the following research questions:

1. Does 40 weeks of intense and varied sports and physical activities as an intervention lead to positive changes in health status for adults with intellectual disabilities?
2. Can lasting effects be measured three and six months after the intervention?
3. Does the intervention improve the motor competences for the participants?
4. How does defined groups of adult persons with Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy learn and retain a new motor skill?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physical Activity group (PA-group)

The intervention group. Participants with intellectual disabilities is recruited from a local daily activity center, where the participants participate in teacher-organized physical activity \~2 hours/day, 5 days/week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical activity

Intervention Type OTHER

2 hours of physical activity per day, 5 days per week, for the intervention period

Control Group (CON-group)

The control group. The participants with intellectual disabilities is recruited from daily activity centers, which does not use physical activity in their daily work with the participants.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
