This thesis describes the results of the 'Healthy ageing and
intellectual disability"-study concerning the theme 'Physical activity
and fitness'. In this study, 1050 older adults with intellectual
disabilities were included, and measured with an extensive battery of
tests, including pedometers, physical fitness tests, daily functioning
and mobility. Reliability and feasibility of instruments new to this
population were studied and proved to be acceptable. Results of the
measurements showed that this group is mostly inactive and had low
physical fitness levels.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/32303/KOMPLEET%20-%20120509_Hilgenkamp%2C%20Thessa%20Irena%20Maria.pdf
