This study investigated health-related fitness in adolescents with intellectual disabilities and analysed the various performances in physical fitness tests according to degrees of obesity.
Eighty-seven French intellectual disabilities adolescents (14.24 ± 1.48 years) performed the EUROFIT physical fitness test battery. Height, weight and waist circumference were assessed, and BMI and waist-to-height ratio were calculated. 'Bio-impedancemetry' evaluated body fat (BF) percentage.
Ninety-four per cent of the adolescents completed the aerobic running test, 52% of which had low VO(2max). Thirty-seven per cent were obese (%BF), and 32% had excess visceral adipose tissue. Adolescents with the lowest cardiorespiratory fitness had the highest BF percentages (P < 0.001).
Intellectual disabilities adolescents showed low physical fitness and high prevalence of obesity. Both could further worsen social participation and health status.
本研究调查了智障青少年的与健康相关的体能，并根据肥胖程度分析了体能测试中的各项表现。
87 名法国智障青少年（14.24 ± 1.48 岁）完成了 EUROFIT 体能测试套件。评估了身高、体重和腰围，并计算了 BMI 和腰高比。“生物电阻抗法”评估了体脂肪（BF）百分比。
94%的青少年完成了有氧运动跑步测试，其中 52%的 VO2max 较低。37%的青少年肥胖（%BF），32%的青少年内脏脂肪过多。心肺功能最低的青少年 BF 百分比最高（P < 0.001）。
智障青少年的体能较低，肥胖率较高。这两者都可能进一步恶化他们的社会参与和健康状况。
