Brief summary
The object of this study is the theory and practice of adaptive physical activity for people with intellectual disability. It focuses on the concepts, paths, and applications of adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability, and systematically studies and discusses the concepts, paths, and application strategies of adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability, so as to provide solutions and support for the scientific exercise of this special population group. The study will focus on the following four aspects: (1) theoretical research on the interventions of young people with intellectual disability (2) analysis of the sports and health needs of young people with intellectual disability (3) empirical research on adaptive physical activities for young people with intellectual disability (4) exploration of strategies for the use of adaptive physical activities. Based on theoretical and practical research, to understand the current situation of sports participation and influencing factors of Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability , to provide a reliable basis for the formulation of adaptive sports activity programmes suitable for the rehabilitation concepts of the Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability; to increase the interest of Effects of adaptive physical activity on health-related Fitness and Fundamental Movement Skills in students with intellectual disability in sports activities, so as to enable them to master the basic sports skills, have the physical abilities required for completing the basic social activities, and be able to participate in sports activities on a regular basis in their future lives; and to promote their physical health and happy lives, with a view to facilitating their integration into regular education and, ultimately, social integration.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Objective measurement of participants' sleep quality using the Actigraph GT3X+ | up to 6 months | — |
| Physical Activity Leves: ActiGraph GT3X+ (ActiGraph LLC, Pensacola, FL) triaxial accelerometers | up to 6 months | — |
| Quality of life : We assessed quality of life (QoL) using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) scale. | up to 6 months | Participants responded to 12 items, with each item providing five response options. The total score ranges from 12 to 60, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. |
| The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES): It is used to assess enjoyment of physical activity. | up to 6 months | The questionnaire consists of 16 questions rated on a 5-point scale. The scale consists of 9 positively worded items and 7 negatively worded items. Scores for the 7 negatively worded items are reverse-coded and then combined with the scores for the positively worded items. Higher total scores indicate greater levels of enjoyment. |
| Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS): It is used to assess the severity of autism symptoms. | up to 6 months | The CARS consists of 15 items, each addressing different aspects of autism. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 to 4, where 1 indicates behavior comparable to age expectations, 2 denotes slightly atypical, 3 reflects moderately atypical, and 4 signifies severely atypical. The total score ranges from 15 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe autism symptoms. Scores between 30 and 37 indicate mild to moderate autism, while scores above 37 represent severe autism. |
| Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC): It is used to evaluate the severity of sleep disturbances. | up to 6 months | It includes 26 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale from never to always, with scores ranging from 1 to 5. A total score above 39, based on Bruni et al.'s study, indicates sleep disturbances, with a sensitivity of 0.89 and specificity of 0.74. |
