Study Overview

Brief Summary

The object of this study is the theory and practice of adaptive physical activity for people with intellectual disability. It focuses on the concepts, paths, and applications of adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability, and systematically studies and discusses the concepts, paths, and application strategies of adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability, so as to provide solutions and support for the scientific exercise of this special population group. The study will focus on the following four aspects: (1) theoretical research on the interventions of young people with intellectual disability (2) analysis of the sports and health needs of young people with intellectual disability (3) empirical research on adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability (4) exploration of strategies for the use of adaptive physical activities.

Based on theoretical and practical research, to understand the current situation of sports participation and influencing factors of Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability , to provide a reliable basis for the formulation of adaptive sports activity programmes suitable for the rehabilitation concepts of the Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability; to increase the interest of Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability in sports activities, so as to enable them to master the basic sports skills, have the physical abilities required for completing the basic social activities, and be able to participate in sports activities on a regular basis in their future lives; and to promote their physical health and happy lives, with a view to facilitating their integration into regular education and, ultimately, social integration.
