Exercise snacks for young adults with intellectual disabilities
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether short 'exercise snacks' — brief bursts of activity throughout the day — can improve physical health and thinking skills in adults with intellectual disabilities. If you join, you'll do simple exercises and help researchers learn if this approach is helpful.
