Six students with ID between the ages of 19 and 55 participated in the study. The period of intervention of the research occurred during 8 months, 2 for setting and 6 for training.

The Functional Independence Scale and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) were evaluated for functional autonomy. For the muscle force training load used is between 50/60% of one repetition maximum resistance and cardiovascular training intensity was determined using the test 1600m. The results showed statistically significant improvements in the total GMFCS score in the upper an.. Read More»
