- 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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Muscular strength and endurance within Health-Related Physical Fitness are assessed using the handgrip strength test up to 6 months Body mass index (BMI) was computed based on measurements of weight and height up to 6 months Body fat percentage up to 6 months Flexibility was assessed using the Sit-and-Reach test up to 6 months Cardiopulmonary fitness was assessed via the 20 m PACER run up to 6 months FMS assessment: The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) for assessing participants' FMS development up to 6 months
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective measurement of participants' sleep quality using the Actigraph GT3X+ up to 6 months Physical Activity Leves: ActiGraph GT3X+ (ActiGraph LLC, Pensacola, FL) triaxial accelerometers up to 6 months Quality of life : We assessed quality of life (QoL) using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) scale. up to 6 months Participants responded to 12 items, with each item providing five response options. The total score ranges from 12 to 60, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES): It is used to assess enjoyment of physical activity. up to 6 months The questionnaire consists of 16 questions rated on a 5-point scale. The scale consists of 9 positively worded items and 7 negatively worded items. Scores for the 7 negatively worded items are reverse-coded and then combined with the scores for the positively worded items. Higher total scores indicate greater levels of enjoyment.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS): It is used to assess the severity of autism symptoms. up to 6 months The CARS consists of 15 items, each addressing different aspects of autism. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 to 4, where 1 indicates "behavior comparable to age expectations," 2 denotes "slightly atypical," 3 reflects "moderately atypical," and 4 signifies "severely atypical." The total score ranges from 15 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe autism symptoms. Scores between 30 and 37 indicate mild to moderate autism, while scores above 37 represent severe autism.
Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC): It is used to evaluate the severity of sleep disturbances. up to 6 months It includes 26 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale from "never" to "always," with scores ranging from 1 to 5. A total score above 39, based on Bruni et al.'s study, indicates sleep disturbances, with a sensitivity of 0.89 and specificity of 0.74.
