Summary

Currently, there is a paucity of quality research within the field of health science with a focus on persons with intellectual disabilities, and especially how longer lasting periods of varied physical activity affects the target group. There is a lack of insight, in how persons with intellectual disabilities learns and retains movement skills. Thus, the research group behind this project will investigate the following research questions:

1. Does 40 weeks of intense and varied sports and physical activities as an intervention lead to positive changes in health status for adults with intellectual disabilities?
2. Can lasting effects be measured three and six months after the intervention?
3. Does the intervention improve the motor competences for the participants?
4. How does defined groups of adult persons with Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy learn and retain a new motor skill?
