The purpose of this study was to design a systematic program of fitness training that enhances physical fitness of mentally retarded adults in sheltered workshops. The first phase of the study was a six-month program conducted by physical education graduate students while the second phase was four months in duration and led by workshop employees. Instructors followed a manual containing 48 lesson plans that were specifically prepared for mentally retarded participants. The physical fitness programs were evaluated using the Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness. MANOVA results revealed that both the six-month and four-month programs increased the physical fitness of the mentally retarded workers, although cardiovascular endurance improved only as a function of the four-month program.
本研究的目的是设计一个系统的健身训练计划，以提高在庇护工厂中成年智障人士的身体素质。研究的第一阶段是由体育专业研究生开展的为期六个月的计划，而第二阶段为期四个月，由工厂员工主导。指导者遵循一本包含48个专门为智障参与者编写的教案的手册。使用加拿大标准化体能测试对健身计划进行评估。多变量方差分析结果显示，尽管心血管耐力仅在四个月的计划中有所改善，但六个月和四个月的计划都提高了智障工人的身体素质。
