Summary

This study looks at whether playing pickleball for 12 weeks can improve thinking skills like attention and memory, as well as motor skills like balance and strength, in adolescents aged 14-18 with mild intellectual disability. Thirty-two students will either play pickleball three times a week or continue their usual activities. Researchers will test both groups before, during, and after the program to see if the sport makes a difference.
