Summary

Home-based exercise interventions were the only alternatives to attenuate physical deconditioning and ameliorate traditional and emergent cardiovascular risk factors progression during the COVID-19 outbreak. Benefits in physical and psychological health have only been reported in adults without intellectual and developmental disability (IDD).

The purpose of this study is to compare home vs gym-based delivery exercise modes of two 8-week supervised aerobic training regimes on cardiorespiratory fitness and arterial structure and stiffness in adults with IDD.

It is hypothesized that home- and gym- based exercise delivery modes will be equally effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness and overall arterial heath, although in an intensity dependent manner. A secondary analysis examining changes in blood pressure and body composition will be performed.

Conditions

  • Vascular Stiffness
  • Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Home-Based

During the home-based intervention, aerobic training was performed using body weight exercises such as jumping jacks, standing box, side shift with floor touch, high knees, half burpee, and hook box (Borrega-Mouquinho et al., 2021).

BEHAVIORAL

Gym-Based

During the gym-based intervention, aerobic training was performed on cycle ergometers (Star Trac Spinner Blade ION 7220, Vancouver, WA).
