Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. The amount of steps a day (as counted by a pedometer, on an average of 7
days,)
2. The promoting and demoting factors for physical activity, as an outcome of a
summary interview.
Secondary outcome
- The difference in the amount of steps taken on a working day in comparison to
a non working day.
- An indication of the division of physical activity, between commuter traffic,
daily activities and recreation activities.
- An indication for physical activity that excludes walking: such as cycling
and swimming.
Background summary
Physical activity has a positive influence on health. It is recommended for
adults to walk 10.000 steps during a full day. In 2006 a study, held in the
United States of America concluded that one third of the a population diagnosed
with an intellectual disability (ID) had reached the 10.000 steps a day mark.
It is unclear whether the ID population exercises less than the general
population.
Factors which influence the physical activity behavior are finances, safety,
the weather and transport. These factors also apply for the general population
as for a population with ID. The personal guide and the policy of the care
provider organization of an individual with ID may also contribute to the
physical activity behavioral.
The main hypothesis is that physical activity of people with mild and moderate
intellectual disability, living in community based setting, is considered to be
lower than advised. The causal factors are influenceable.
Study objective
Objective:
1. What is the intensity of the physical activity of adults with a mild or
moderate intellectual disability living in community based settings?
2. What are the promoting and demoting factors for physical activity in this
population? (time, financial, the accessibility of sport facilities,
psychosocial factors, influence of the tutors, physical limitations,*)
Sub question: Is the physical activity related to commuter traffic, daily
acitivities of an individual or to recreation?
Study design
Cross-sectional observational inventorying study
Study burden and risks
For 7 days, during the daytime, the participants will wear a pedometer on their
belt. During this period they will participate in their normal day schedule.
In the evening the number of steps and the physical activities of that day
(sporting, cycling, swimming will be noted in a booklet, provided by the
researchers. At the end of this week a summary interview will be held with the
participant. The interview will be about 30 minutes concentrating on the
promoting and demoting factors for physical activity
The personal guide (tutor) will be asked to help the participants if necessary.
