Little information is available on the provision of physical fitness and intervention programs among people with
intellectual disabilities, particularly concerning children with ID. Authors reported borderline ID and athletes with lower ID obtain higher performance scores in motor coordination test significant improvement in children with ID in the 50 m dash, mean 10 m walk time, 10 m obstacle course walk and a significant increase in the hip joint split angle. Earlier studies done on adults with ID reported beneficial effects of exercise as shown in statistical decreases in individual weight, especially among the mild disability level group, BMI score, and positive improvement in V-shape sit and reach test, sit-up tests. Benefits of physical activity were observed in balance, strength, endurance and health self-perception Movement difficulties, impossible or impeded coordination of upper and lower limbs significantly reduce activities in children with ID, which is first observed in the family and school environment, and continues throughout adulthood. Reduced number of activities that would enable children to improve existing and develop new abilities may significantly affect their functioning in further everyday life, thereby putting them at risk of declining health associated with low physical fitness
