Balance is a crucial component of physical fitness and, consequently, of fall reduction and prevention. The aim of the present randomised controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy, after 16\u00a0weeks, that three different Special Olympics physical activity programmes had on balance and on fall reduction in adults with intellectual disabilities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A convenience sample of 150 persons with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities was recruited from the accessible Special Olympics Slovenia population of physically inactive adults with intellectual disabilities. The sample was randomised to the experimental group 1 (multicomponent balance\u2010specific exercise programme group with additional workshops on such social gerontology topics as active and healthy ageing;<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a050), the experimental group 2 (multicomponent wellness programme group;<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a050) and a control group (regular Special Olympics athletic training;<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a050).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Significant differences were found between groups in the balance scores throughout the study period and in the ability to decrease fall frequency.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Balance assessment is a high predictor of frequency of falls, and among adults with intellectual disabilities, it significantly correlates with exercise. The results indicate that a multicomponent balance\u2010specific exercise programme with a significant sociogerontological component on active ageing could be a useful intervention for intellectually disabled adults who have poor balance and who experience frequent falls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jir.12727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,20]],"date-time":"2020-03-20T18:33:50Z","timestamp":1584729230000},"page":"381-394","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["The impact of multicomponent programmes on balance and fall reduction in adults with intellectual disabilities: a randomised trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Kova\u010di\u010d","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Alma Mater Europaea \u2013 European Centre Maribor, Health programs Maribor Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7358-5212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Kova\u010di\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u0160tore Steel Limited Research and Development \u0160tore Slovenia"},{"name":"Laboratory for Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering University of Ljubljana Ljubljana Slovenia"},{"name":"College of Industrial Engineering Celje Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Ovsenik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alma Mater Europaea \u2013 European Centre Maribor, Health programs Maribor Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Zurc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"JSPS International Research Fellow, Graduate School of Education Okayama University Okayama Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physio.2015.03.237"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physio.2015.03.238"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","volume-title":"Fun Fitness: Learn How to Organize, Promote and Present","author":"Bainbridge D.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3399\/bjgp16X684301"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1352\/1944-7558-114.4:225-236"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.2008.01137.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","volume-title":"Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences","author":"Cohen J.","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.2010.01333.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jar.12193"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2017.01.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","first-page":"393","volume-title":"Mednarodna znanstvena konferenca za \u010dloveka gre: interdisciplinarnost, transnacionalnost in gradnja mostov","author":"Dober\u0161ek J.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2011.08.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","volume-title":"Healthy Ageing \u2013 Adults with Intellectual Disabilities: Physical Health Issues","author":"Evenhuis H.","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","first-page":"137","article-title":"The effect of jumping rope training on static balance in male and female students with intellectual impairment","volume":"4","author":"Fallah F.","year":"2014","journal-title":"European Journal of Experimental Biology"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.2010.01319.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/157874"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/00989134-20120510-01"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.2006.00873.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-1130.2010.00248.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1352\/1944-7558-117.6.442"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2011.11.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2016.03.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","first-page":"107","volume-title":"Zbornik povzetkov = Book of abstracts","author":"Kapel A.","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dhjo.2016.01.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_26_1","unstructured":"LorenzoT.
