Abstract(s)
This study aims to systematize effects of cardiorespiratory training (CT) programs in
individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and identifying the fundamental and structuring aspects
for the prescription of CT. This systematic review was carried out through four databases (Pubmed,
Web of Science, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus), considering data from the period between 2013 and 2022.
From 257 studies, 12 studies were included in this systematic review. Three studies used interval CT,
while seven used continuous CT. Seven were carried out in the population with Down syndrome,
while only three were carried out with participants with ID. The CT programs had the following
characteristics: duration of 8 to 12 weeks, weekly frequency of three sessions, for 20 to 60 min, the
intensity of 50% to 80% of maximal heart rate or 70% to 80% of peak oxygen consumption, using an
ergometer cycle or an outdoor walking. The studies reported improvements in cardiorespiratory
function, lipid, hemodynamic and metabolic profile, body composition, and neuromuscular and
cognitive capacity. This review presents characteristics and recommendations that technicians can
follow when structuring, prescribing, and implementing CT programs to individuals with ID.
