| Description | Introduction The topic is relevant to healthy life style of persons with intellectual disability. The aim of this follow-up study was to compare the volume and intensity of physical activities in camp (CAMP) with the values achieved in the weekly regime of the identical persons in their home environment (COMMON) one year later. Methods Presented follow-up study which assessed participants in home living environment (COMMON) involved 16 males (average age 38.9 years), 19 females (average age 37.4 years) who participated in CAMP. The survey took place in 12 locations in the Czech Republic. The home living conditions of the participants were very heterogeneous. To measure volume and intensity, the GT3X Actigraph and the IPAQ report form were used in weekly mode (6 days in CAMP, 7 days in COMMON). Used instruments, the GT3X Actigraph, IPAQ report were identical in both assessments. Results and Conclusion Despite the decrease in moderate and vigorous activity [MVPA ] in the COMMON mode, adults with ID in the Czech Republic have adequate physical activity. At CAMP the participants achieved 17,638 steps per day, at COMMON 17,146.1 steps. Usual norm is 10,000 steps for general population. Differences between male – female were found, as well as decreasing activity in COMMON. In addition to the general group findings in the heterogeneous population case studies are essential where the increase or decrease in COMMON compared to the values in CAMP is related to geographical and social conditions, especially family or support from the field of social care and Special Olympics. |
