Aging leads to changes in motor-cognitive performance.Despite the importance of physical activity for healthy aging and the need for health promotion interventions in individuals with intellectual disability (ID), there is a lack of empirically strategies for promoting health in adults jeff rosenstock buffalo with ID.Therefore, we are conducting a clinical trial (NCT06628999 on clinicaltrials.gov) to investigate a strategy for promoting healthy aging by targeting physical and cognitive domains in ID individuals.The present work aims to provide a detailed account of the study protocol of the proposed trial to promote transparency and dissemination of the ongoing research.
Specifically, this project will study the effect of a vision training program on cognitive performance and physical fitness in adults with ID.A secondary aim is to examine the association between mental and physical performance outcomes.Participants will be randomly allocated into a vision training group (VT, n = 28), a vision training-detraining group (VTD, n = 28), and a control group (C, n = 28).During the first 8 weeks, the VT and VTD groups will follow the same training protocol (based on vision oculomotor exercises combined with postural control exercises).From weeks 9 to 16, the VT group will continue the training protocol, whereas the VTD group will abstain sex shop arles from training (detraining).
Cognitive performance and physical fitness will be assessed at baseline, mid- and post-training intervention.Overall, a vision training program can positively impact various aspects of life for individuals with ID promoting autonomy, and social integration to counteract the aging process.
