Sponsor's own description

Objective: Although physical activity (PA) is cardiometabolic and psychologically beneficial to adults with intellectual disability (ID), its initiation and maintenance remain problematic. We examine the effects of a music-visual guided PA (MVgPA) intervention on the PA level, PA self-efficacy and interest as well as functional exercise capacity of adults with ID.

Hypothesis: Compared with usual care, MVgPA can significantly increase the participant's PA level and improve their PA self-efficacy and interest, and functional exercise capacity.

Design and participants: This cluster-randomized controlled trial will recruit 400 Chinese adults with mild to moderate ID from 20 residential care facilities.

Intervention: Based on the information-motivation-strategy model, MVgPA comprises a motivational and strategical preparatory session and ongoing support to residential service providers and a 12-week group-based staff-facilitated MVgPA (two 75-min session/week) for adults with ID. Outcome measurement PA level (primary outcome) will be measured by using an activity tracker. PA self-efficacy and interest will be measured by the Baseline Interview Questionnaire and visual analogue scale respectively. Functional exercise capacity will be measured by six-minute walk test. All outcomes will be measured at baseline, 13 and 25 weeks.

Data analysis: Intervention effects will be estimated using three-level mixed effects model.

Expected results: MVgPA will effectively enhance the PA levels of adults with ID. After intervention implementation, we expect that at least 50% of the residential care facilities allocated to the intervention group will demonstrate their willingness to continue to implement the MVgPA program (score 4 out of 6, 6 = most willing).
