Lichamelijke activiteit en fitheid bij ouderen met een verstandelijke beperking
This thesis describes the results of the 'Healthy ageing and intellectual disability"-study concerning the theme 'Physical activity and fitness'. In this study, 1050 older adults with intellectual disabilities were included, and measured with an extensive battery of tests, including pedometers, physical fitness tests, daily functioning and mobility. Reliability and feasibility of instruments new to this population were studied and proved to be acceptable. Results of the measurements showed that this group is mostly inactive and had low physical fitness levels.
