Effects of 12 sessions of multicomponent training on physical fitness indicators in adults with intellectual disability
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a 12-session multicomponent training program on fitness indicators in adults with intellectual disability (ID). The sample consisted of (n=9) adults aged 23.67 ± 4.97 years from a group for individuals with ID not enrolled in formal education. Fitness indicators, including muscle strength, functional capacity, and adiposity, were assessed pre- and post-implementation of the 12-session multicomponent training program. To compare initial and final measures, Wilcoxon and paired Student's T-tests were utilized. Significant improvements (p<0.05) were found in absolute (Δ% = ↑21.85) and relative (Δ% = ↑22.22) handgrip strength. Additionally, execution times decreased significantly in the five-times sit-to-stand test (Δ% = ↓17.37) and the timed up-and-go test (Δ% = ↓12.98), while no significant changes were observed in adiposity measurements (p>0.05). In conclusion, a 12-session multicomponent training program had positive effects on fitness indicators related to muscle strength and functional capacity in adults with ID. The use of this methodology is recommended as a strategy for promoting health and autonomy among individuals with ID not enrolled in formal education.
