Abstract
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar los efectos de un programa de 12 sesiones de
entrenamiento multicomponente en indicadores de fitness de adultos con discapacidad intelectual
(DI). La muestra la conformaron (n=9) adultos, edad 23,67 ± 4,97 años pertenecientes a una
agrupación para personas con DI desescolarizadas. Como indicadores se fitness se realizaron
mediciones de fuerza muscular, capacidad funcional y adiposidad, pre y post aplicación de un
programa de entrenamiento multicomponente de 12 sesiones. Para establecer comparaciones entre las
medidas iniciales y finales, se utilizaron las pruebas de Wilcoxon y T de Student para muestras
relacionadas. Como resultado se registraron aumentos significativos (p<0,05) en la fuerza de
prensión manual absoluta (Δ% = ↑21,85) y relativa (Δ% = ↑22,22). Paralelamente se redujo el tiempo
de ejecución en las pruebas de sentarse y levantarse 5 veces (Δ% = ↓17,37) y timed up and go (Δ% =
↓12,98), no se registraron cambios significativos en medidas de adiposidad (p>0.05). En conclusión,
un programa de entrenamiento multicomponente de 12 sesiones tuvo efectos positivos en indicadores
de fitness relacionados a la fuerza muscular y capacidad funcional en adultos con DI. Se propone el
uso de esta metodología como estrategia para la promoción de la salud y la autonomía de personas
con DI desescolarizadas.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a 12-session multicomponent training program on fitness indicators in adults with intellectual disability (ID). The sample consisted of (n=9) adults aged 23.67 ± 4.97 years from a group for individuals with ID not enrolled in formal education. Fitness indicators, including muscle strength, functional capacity, and adiposity, were assessed pre- and post-implementation of the 12-session multicomponent training program. To compare initial and final measures, Wilcoxon and paired Student's T-tests were utilized. Significant improvements (p<0.05) were found in absolute (Δ% = ↑21.85) and relative (Δ% = ↑22.22) handgrip strength. Additionally, execution times decreased significantly in the five-times sit-to-stand test (Δ% = ↓17.37) and the timed up-and-go test (Δ% = ↓12.98), while no significant changes were observed in adiposity measurements (p>0.05). In conclusion, a 12-session multicomponent training program had positive effects on fitness indicators related to muscle strength and functional capacity in adults with ID. The use of this methodology is recommended as a strategy for promoting health and autonomy among individuals with ID not enrolled in formal education.
