Abstract

Introduction: People with ID were reported prone to be overweight (22.5%) and obese (23.8%) compared to the general population and demonstrated poor level of physical fitness. Aims: This study aims to identify the anthropometric measurement and physical fitness profile in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and examine the best factors that significantly contribute to explosive strength and balance performance. Method: 124 individuals with ID in Kelantan were recruited in this study. Anthropometry, body composition, and physical fitness were measured using Inspire i-Talent manual. Results: Individuals with ID in this study were overweight (24.27 kg/m2) and their fitness levels were considered generally poor. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that lower limb explosive power variable (R= 0.864, R2= 0.747, F= 34,947, p<0.05) can be anticipated from medicine ball throw, fat percentage and 505 agility test values. In addition, for upper body explosive power  (R= 0.863, R2= 0.745, F= 4.223, p= 0.042) it can be forecasted from standing long jump, body weight, gender, static balance, and arm span. Lastly, standing long jump and 505 agility tests could be the main predictor of static balance (R= 0.597, R2= 0.356, F= 6,586, p= 0.011). Conclusion: Present finding can be used as a reference for researchers in Malaysia when prescribing and implementing physical assessment in ID population.

Abstract

Study purpose: Muscular strength is crucial for performing daily tasks and enhancing sports performance. However, limited research has compared the handgrip and upper body strength between sedentary individuals and archers. This study aimed to compare the handgrip and upper body strength between the sedentary individuals and archers. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving youth archers of Kelantan Sports Council (n=20; Mean age:14.7±1.22 years old) and sedentary individuals from Kelantan secondary school (n=20; Mean age:14.8±1.15 years old). Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Participants’ handgrip strength of dominant and non-dominant arms was measured using a hand dynamometer, while the upper body strength was measured via medicine ball throw test. All the tests were conducted for 3 trials; the average of the trials was used the analysis using Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the comparison of handgrip strength for both arms between the groups. Archers exhibited higher dominant handgrip strength (32.5±4.1 kg) than sedentary individuals (25.8±3.9 kg). Similarly, upper body strength demonstrated a significant difference (p<0.05), with archers achieving a longer medicine ball throw distance (5.4±0.6 m) than sedentary individuals (4.1±0.5 m). Conclusions: To conclude, archers possess greater handgrip and upper body strength than sedentary individuals, highlighting the positive impact of archery training on muscular strength development.
