Examining the Effects of a 24-Week Exercise Program on Functional Capacity, Cog...
Jacinto, Miguel; Antunes, Raul; Monteiro, Diogo; Rodrigues, Filipe; Amaro, Nuno; Campos, Maria João; Ferreira, José Pedro; Matos, RuiThis study investigated the effects of two physical exercise programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Twenty-one participants were assigned to an indoor group (IG, n = 7; 24-week gym intervention with machine), an outdoor group (OG, n = 7; 24-week outdoor intervention with low-cost materials) or a control group. The outcomes assessed included quality of life, dementia, and functiona...

Silva, Fernanda; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Ferreira, José Pedro; Carvalho, Eugenia; Monteiro, Diogo; A, Massart; Farinha, Carlos; SOARES, CM.; A, TeixeiraPurpose We investigated the effects of a 16-week combined exercise training on body composition, and metabolic and inflammatory markers in sedentary middle-aged workers. We also assessed whether alterations in metabolic markers were associated with changes in health-related outcomes. Methods This randomized controlled trial involved 46 participants randomly allocated into control and exercise groups. The exerci...

Jacinto, Miguel; Ferreira, José Pedro; Monteiro, Diogo; Antunes, Raul; Campos, MJ; Matos, RuiBeing aware of the relevance of physical exercise in individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), we intend to conduct a brief review on the importance of regular physical exercise for this population. An approach will be taken in order to acknowledge the barriers to the high rates of sedentary lifestyles in this population, the potential benefits of physical exercise, and the essential a...
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...

Combined Exercise Training, Body Composition, Glucose and Insulin Metabolism in...
Silva, Fernanda M.; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Teixeira, Ana M.; Farinha, Carlos; Soares, Carlos M.; Ferreira, José PedroSedentary behaviour (SB) and physical inactivity are two major risk factors for obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease development (Davies et al., 2018). Effective stress-reducing interventions, such as regular exercise, are essential to prevent the harmful impact of SB on metabolic outcomes (Pedersen, 2017). We aimed to analyse the effects of a combined training program on bod...
Impact of exercise programs on body mass index and waist circumference of indiv...
Jacinto, Miguel; Monteiro, Diogo; Antunes, Raul; Campos, Maria João; Ferreira, José Pedro; Matos, RuiThe global impact of physical activity and physical exercise on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), is not known, nor is the most effective type of exercise training for promoting these variables. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the effect of physical exercise on BMI and WC in individuals with IDD through a sys...

Jacinto, Miguel; Matos, Rui; Monteiro, Diogo; Antunes, Raul; Caseiro, André; Gomes, Beatriz; Campos, Maria João; Ferreira, José PedroThe increase in overweight and obesity among individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) also increases the deterioration of functionality and the risk of developing chronic diseases. 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...

Jacinto, Miguel; Rodrigues, Filipe; Monteiro, Diogo; Antunes, Raul; Ferreira, José Pedro; Matos, Rui; Campos, Maria JoãoAssessing quality of life (QoL) is important to provide personalized and individualized support plans with the purpose of improving personal outcomes. Based on the conceptual model of QoL, the aim of this study was to assess the congruence between the perceptions of institutionalized individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and the perception of a third party, regarding QoL. Forty-two ...
