Funded Activity Summary

Adults with intellectual disability are much less physically active than the general community. In Australia, only around half the proportion of adults with intellectual disability compared with the general community meet national guidelines for physical activity. The overarching aim of the project is to sustainably increase physical activity in everyday life among adults with intellectual disability, at least to the level of the general community, to significantly improve their fitness and well-being.
