Physical exercise has been identified as an effective strategy for reducing overweight and obesity and promoting health. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an indoor and outdoor exercise...
Assessment of Isokinetic Strength of Knee Extension/Flexion of Individuals With...
Jacinto, Miguel; Caseiro, André; Antunes, Raul; Monteiro, Diogo; Campos, MJ; Matos, Rui; Ferreira, José Pedro; Gomes, Beatriz BranquinhoMuscle performance is a crucial determinant of physical function in the daily lives of individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD), with lower strength levels often leading to loss of independence. The isokinetic dynamometer has been established as a reliable method for assessing muscle performance in this population. This article outlines the design of a protocol to be adopted to assess isok...

Jacinto, Miguel; Matos, Rui; Gomes, Beatriz; Caseiro, André; Antunes, Raul; Monteiro, Diogo; Ferreira, José Pedro; Campos, Maria JoãoThe average life expectancy of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) is increasing. However, living more years does not mean living better, leading to the need for research on comorbidities associated with the aging process. Associated with this process are the physical characteristics most prevalent in an individual with IDD: low levels of all physical capacities, the accumulation...
