Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a 8 week training period compared with control group in physical and mentally disabled adults. The effect was evaluated in relation to their physical status. Furthermore, physical activity was measured using steps and active minutes.

Description:

This study aimed at making a quality assessment of a 8 week training period for adults with physical and mental disabilities. A control group was added to compare the effect of the training with no training. Before the training period the participants were tested in relation to their physical status: weight, height, fat%, blood pressure, Aastrand test, chair stand test and waist circumference. In addition to this, the participants were instructed to wear an accelerometer to measure step and active minutes for 2-3 days a work.

The staff at the day center, where the participants works in daytime, were responsible for the physical training 2 times/week for 8 weeks. The training was an hour of combined aerobic, strength, balance and flexibility training.

The participants were tested after the training period using the same test-protocol as before.
