“People with intellectual disabilities face unique challenges regarding physical activity, such as need for social support, transportation to programmes, client-centred fitness programmes, financial resources and limited staffing level, which warrant specific consideration (Bartlo & Klein 2011). Thus, organisational preconditions as an environmental factor seem to be interrelated to physical activity opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities as well as personal factors”

“However, according to a meta-analysis of Dairo et al. (2016), on average, only 9% of adults with intellectual disabilities meet global physical activity recommendations (range: 0–46%). Moreover, compared with people without intellectual disabilities, they spend more time sedentary and are less physical active”

“The benefits stated in the guidelines are many and centre mainly on physical health; they point out, for example, that such a level of exercise can reduce your chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 40 per cent, cardiovascular disease by 35 per cent, joint and back pain by 35 per cent, and cancers (noting particularly colon and breast) by 20 per cent.”

“The study found that the increase in physical activity was associated with a statistically significant increase in FMD (P = .03) and total antioxidant capacity (P = .01). The following findings showed that physical activity levels play a determinant role in the improvement of endothelial function and thus the conquer of oxidative stress, hence decelerating the process of atherosclerosis.”

“It has become increasingly clear that the health benefits of physical activity are associated with

the total volume of physical activity, no matter the combination of intensity, duration, or type.4 The new guidelines acknowledge this by removing any requirements for the length of time of periods of activity and by incorporating all intensities of physical activity.”

“In blue zones, Buettner's team observed that people were nudged into moving about every 20 minutes. For example, they were gardening, they kneaded their own bread, and they used hand- operated tools; their houses were not full of conveniences. When they did go out (e.g., to school, work, a friend's house, a restaurant, or to socialize), it was almost always on foot. Movement is engineered into their daily lives.”

“Blue Zones believes that

our bodies were built to move

. Whether one logs 6,000, 8000, or

10,000 steps (or more) per day, increasing your daily step count is an effective way to improve individual health and enhance the overall health of the community.”

“Because the Lancet study is based on observational data, the authors do not attribute causation and note that further research is necessary. However, the findings strongly suggest that a daily step regimen correlates with better health and strengthen the evidence base for physician advice to patients.”

In both of these I can use environmental factors to connect them. In the article by Wizemann she talks about how gardening, kneading bread, and using hand operated tools is a great way to move naturally in daily lives. In the article by Kreinbucher, he states how people with disabilities would need a support system to participate in such activities but there are other ways they can without having to have a support system. People with disabilities would be able to knead their own bread, could use come hand operated tools but not all and they could still garden. In ways like planting seeds in a pot or water a garden.

For people with disabilities they could have a support system there to help them participate in physical activity in a different way than walking because some may not be able to participate in that with their disability. They could work on upper body physical activity, like doing something low intense level like walking but with there arms instead.

In both of these they are talking about the level of intensity in physical activity to be considered healthy or effective. In Amys article she talks about how just logging 10,000 steps or more is an effective way to improve individual health where in Kreouzi, Magdalini article he talks about how physical levels of activity play a role in improvement in your health.

In both of these articles they are talking about how any level of physical activity can help improve your overall health. How any type of physical activity like walking, working out, gardening can help with your overall health in anyway.
