Study Summary

Purpose: Conduct a wait-list randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an inclusive physical activity program called PACE for adults with intellectual disability (ID) who are not yet showing signs of Alzheimer's Disease (AD)/age-related dementias (ARD). Participants: Participants include 120 adults with ID, their caregivers, and their coaches (up to 360 individual participants, grouped as triads), recruited through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Arkansas. Participants also include 16 exercise professionals. Procedures (methods): Each cohort will include 20 triads who are randomly assigned to the PACE program or the waitlist control group.

Primary Outcome

The Actigraph GT9X Links measures daily step counts. Step counts less than 2500 are classified as basal, step counts between 2500 to 4999 are classified as limited, step counts between 5000 to 7499 are classified as low, step counts between 7500-9999 are classified as somewhat active, step counts between 10000 to 12499 are classified as active, and step counts over 12500 are classified as very active.
