Dose-response relationship of physical exercise interventions for balance performance in children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically evaluate the impact of exercise interventions on balance performance in children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and examine the dose-response relationship of key intervention parameters.

Methods

A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library identified eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses and non-linear meta-regression were performed to explore potential effect modifiers and dose-response patterns.

Results

A total of 23 eligible studies comprising 31 datasets and 1,179 participants were included. Pooled analysis showed significant improve
