Idiopathic Mental Retardation

Analysis was made of pregnancy records in families of 28 normal and 28 mentally retarded children. The pregnancy records of mothers, maternal aunts, and grandmothers of the retarded population were compared to the records of the normal population. There were no significant differences in the mean reproductive rates between the retarded and control groups.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a school-based cardiovascular-fitness-training program in children with mental retardation (MR). Thirty boys (8−15 years old) with mild to moderate mental retardation were randomly divided into 2 groups—experimental (EX) and control (CN). The EX group underwent 10 weeks of training 3 times/week for a duration of 1 hr/session at 60-80% peak heart rate. At Week 10, significant increases in 20-m shuttle-run-test (20-MST) laps were observed for the EX group. No improvements were found in percent body fat. No changes were observed for the CN. The school-based training program might prove useful in improving the cardiovascular fitness of children with MR.
