NCT ID NCT07576933
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two 8-week exercise programs for adults with intellectual disabilities who are currently sedentary. One group does traditional strength and endurance exercises, while the other plays sports like soccer and basketball. Researchers will measure changes in physical fitness, body composition, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise programs (traditional conditioning and sport-based skills training)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that structured exercise programs improve fitness and quality of life for adults with intellectual disabilities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The programs are short (8 weeks), so long-term benefits are unknown.
