Effects of resistance training interventions on muscular strength in adults with intellectual disability: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Iva Obrusnikova et al.

Summary: Resistance training interventions have a significant impact on muscular strength in adults with intellectual disabilities, especially when not combined with other exercises. However, the limited number of studies and low study quality scores indicate a potential risk of bias, requiring further investigation.

Effects of virtual reality versus conventional balance training on balance of the elderly

Saeed Yousefi Babadi et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of virtual reality training (VRT) and Conventional balance training (CBT) on the balance of elderly individuals living in nursing homes. The results showed that both VRT and CBT significantly improved balance performance, with no significant difference between the two training methods. Therefore, virtual reality training may be a new and effective method to enhance balance in the elderly population.

Cardiac Autonomic Modulation Response Before, During, and After Submaximal Exercise in Older Adults With Intellectual Disability

Manel Font-Farre et al.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the cardiac autonomic modulation before, during, and after the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in older adults with and without Intellectual Disability (ID). Results showed that HRV was similar between the two groups during rest, exercise, and recovery, but the recovery HR kinetics after the 6MWT was slower in older adults with ID, possibly due to reduced post-exercise vagal rebound.
