The reliability and validity of standardized fitness tests administered to mentally retarded adults is discussed. Tests which are reliable and uncomplicated for the normal adult many be unsuitable. Guidelines are set out for testing moderately or higher functioning severely retarded individuals, with ...

Feasibility of eight physical fitness tests in 1,050 older adults with intellectual disability: Results of the healthy ageing with ...
Results: We present a basic set of physical fitness tests, the ID-fitscan, to be used in (older) adults with mild to moderate ID and some walking ability. The ID-fitscan includes tests for body composition (BMI, waist circumference), muscular strength (grip strength), muscular endurance (...
Each participant performed 11 tests representing 4 domains of functioning (muscular, joint, neural, and respiratory). Two-way ANOVA was used to examine gender and age differences for each variable. Performance on every test decreased with advancing age, but the declines did not occur at a ...
A daily increment of 1000 steps was associated with better mean test scores for OLS- and SBE tests (b=1.88, 95% CI: 0.85 to 2.90 (p≤0.001) and b=4.63, 95% CI: 1.98 to 7.29 (p=0.001), respectively). The youngest (65–69 years) had better static balance and muscular endurance ...
PF (morphology; fitness, including endurance, strength, and flexibility tests) and PSWB (measured through scales for grit and dispositional resilience) attributes were assessed. Significant differences were observed in age, morphological (height and waist-to-hip ratio), fitness (horizontal jump and ...
This systematic review aims to identify PF field-based tests used in young European populations practicing sport to find tools that are adequate for the considered target involving a new battery within the Enriched Sport Activities (ESA) project. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews ...
a significant improvement was noted in the mental processes controlled by the part of the brain (left hemisphere) responsible for logical reasoning and math. The men who exercised 3 times per week, were compared on 10 tests of mental ability to a similar group of men who remained sedentary. ...
