Summary

This study examines the outcomes of a group interval fitness program for secondary students with cognitive impairments in the school setting. It is well documented in the literature that individuals with cognitive impairments and medical conditions are at an increased risk for a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and poor health-related fitness. These factors may further contribute to difficulties with planning for transitions from high school to young adulthood, independent or supported employment, and functional activities of daily living. An eight-week resistive exercise program was designed for secondary students with significant cognitive impairments who are participating in physical education classes as part of their standard curriculum. The goal of this study is to compare the outcomes related to strength, mobility, and functional activities for students in the intervention group compared to students who do not participate in this group interval program. This study investigates several important questions. Is a group fitness program effective in a school-based setting? Do individuals with cognitive impairments benefit from a group fitness program? Can a group fitness program correlate to functional and/or participation changes? With a group fitness program can changes be seen in lower extremity strength, upper extremity strength, grip strength, and mobility? How does a structured exercise group compare to a physical education class? Do physical education classes provide enough intensity for students with cognitive impairments?
