Brief Summary

Due to the ageing process, individuals with intellectual disability (ID) experience decreased balance and loss of functionality at an earlier age than their peers without ID. Above-mentioned negative effects of the age affect particularly work ability, forcing to the retirement. It also implies difficulties for social interaction and economic problems, among others. Baduajin is a traditional Chinese exercise and it has been demonstrated as an effective therapy in different alterations of the movement (i.e. Parkinson Disease). The hypothesis of this study is that a training program of Badaujing will improve the balance and functionality of individuals with ID over 40 years old that from a company of in sheltered work. Subjects with mild to moderate ID aged 40 years or older who are working in Lantegi Batuak (Bizkaia, Spain) will be invited to take part in an Baduajin intervention. The training program will consist in a 1 hour session each week during 9 month. Participants will be randomly assigned to a control or intervention group. Before and after the intervention, all the participants will be assessed with the following protocol: SPPB for functionality, balance in stabilometric platform, and strength of the upper limb.
