Physical Activity Research in Intellectual Disability: A Scoping Review Using the Behavioral Epidemiological Framework
Pitchford, E. Andrew; Dixon-Ibarra, Alicia; Hauck, Janet L.
American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, v123 n2 p140-163 Mar 2018
Through a scoping review, the current state of physical activity research in people with intellectual disability was examined. A search of publications between 2000 and 2014 retrieved 362 articles that met inclusion criteria. Eligible studies were coded according to the Behavioral Epidemiological Framework. Of the articles identified, 48% examined associations between physical activity and health outcomes, 9% developed or tested methodology to measure physical activity, 34% examined factors that influence physical activity, 8% evaluated interventions to change physical activity, and 1% examined the dissemination of physical activity/health promotion programming. The categories with lower proportions of studies represent the need for greater population-specific research in physical activity measurement, interventional designs, and translational programs.
