The researchers of this project are focused on building supportive communities. They have developed and studied a novel exercise program, publishing data on its positive impact on increasing step counts and supporting weight loss for a group of 40 individuals. In addition, their team and collaborators have organized an inclusive group fitness class based on the program.<\/p>\n
They are ready to expand these programs to meet the needs of more people through their clinical trial.<\/p>\n
English-speaking adults (18+) with a diagnosis of intellectual disability and their caregiver. Participation includes a 16-week long exercise program that includes a weekly workout class and some assessments. Compensation information provided upon request.<\/p>\n
