Objective measurement required to disentangle health effects of sedentary behaviour versus physical activity on adults with intellectual disability

Implications for practice and research ► Adults with intellectual disability (ID) have lower levels of physical activity and higher levels of sedentary behaviour than the general population, which is associated with a higher disease burden. ► Future studies should measure sedentary behaviour and physical activity objectively and use international standards. ► More intervention studies are needed to increase physical activity in adults with ID.
