Abstract

In comparison to the wider population people with intellectual disabilities (ID) experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality associated with inactive lifestyles, however little is known about the pattern of their physical activity (PA). To address the inadequacies that currently exist around PA and those with ID, we need to better understand their PA levels to identify those who are inactive and the related factors. The four-part studies in this thesis aimed to establish PA levels of adults with intellectual disabilities (awID) across the spectrum. It also aimed to investigate the readiness to change PA behaviour in this population.
