Physical Fitness and Body Composition among People with Mild Level Intellectually Impairment, with and without Additional Disabilities: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract

Background: Having an additional impairment similar to Down Syndrome (DS) might increase defects in motor development in people with intellectual impairments (II) and, therefore, affect their physical fitness and body composition. Thus, this study compared the physical fitness and body composition of people with II who did not have additional impairments with those who had additional impairment.
