This study describes and compares physical activity (PA) levels and sedentary time (ST) of active (AG) and a non-active (NAG) groups of adults with intellectual disability (ID) versus a group of adults without ID. Thirty-seven participants from the AG, 29 from the NAG, and 31 adults without ID participated in this study. Height and weight were obtained to calculate body mass index (BMI). PA levels and ST were assessed with GT3X Actigraph accelerometers for 7 days. Results revealed that the AG engaged in higher values of moderate to vigorous PA compared with the NAG (all < 0.05), but were similar to adults without ID. Adults without ID performed less ST and more light PA than the ID groups (all < 0.05). The participants of the AG did not demonstrate less ST than the NAG. It is concerning that adults with ID (AG or NAG) are spending a higher time in ST and less time in light PA than adults without ID. Our results suggest that integrated, well-designed PA programmes into the ID population workdays can lead to increased PA levels. Nevertheless, these interventions and exercise programmes implemented for adults with ID should be tailored to also reduce ST.
本研究描述并比较了有智力障碍（ID）的活跃组（AG）和非活跃组（NAG）与无 ID 的成年人的体力活动（PA）水平和久坐时间（ST）。37 名 AG 参与者、29 名 NAG 参与者和 31 名无 ID 成年人参与了这项研究。测量身高和体重以计算体重指数（BMI）。使用 GT3X Actigraph 加速度计评估 7 天的 PA 水平和 ST。结果表明，AG 组进行中高强度 PA 的比例高于 NAG 组（均<0.05），但与无 ID 组相似。无 ID 组的 ST 时间较少，轻 PA 时间较多，而 ID 组则相反（均<0.05）。AG 组的参与者并没有比 NAG 组更少的 ST。令人担忧的是，有 ID 的成年人（AG 或 NAG）比无 ID 的成年人花费更多的时间在 ST 上，而在轻 PA 上的时间更少。我们的研究结果表明，将精心设计的综合 PA 方案融入 ID 人群的工作日可以提高 PA 水平。然而，这些针对 ID 成年人的干预和运动方案也应该针对减少 ST 进行调整。
