Research on Relationship Between BMI Level and Basic Action Skills of Children with Different Degrees of Intellectual Disability
In order to explore the relationship between body mass index(BMI)level and basic action skills of 60 children aged 9-12 with different degrees of intellectual disability,BMI and basic motor skills are tested and evaluated.The results show that the detection rates of overweight and obesity are higher in children with different degrees of intellectual disability,and the detection rates of overweight and obesity in children with mild and severe intellectual disabilities are higher than those in children with borderline intellectual disabilities.There are significant differences in height,weight,and BMI among children with different degrees of intellectual disability.The basic action skills level of children with intellectual disability is affected by a variety of factors,among which the degree of intellectual disability,gender and BMI level are the key factors.Basic action skills,displacement skills and object control skills are negatively correlated with BMI,and the effect of displacement skills on BMI is more significant.The Study shows that exercises to promote basic action skills can improve the level of overweight and obesity of children with intellectual disabilities,and enhance their physical health literacy.
