Physical activity and mental health in children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities: a meta-analysis using the RE-AIM framework.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (IDs) tend to have lower levels of physical activity and poorer mental health than their typically developing peers.
