Abstract
The aim of this research was providing normative data for physical fitness of intellectual disability students by the Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness (CSTF). For this purpose, 314 students (115 females, 199 male) with educable intellectual disability (IQ Score: 50-70; age: 18.53±2.55 years) were selected from Special schools in Hamadan province. Methods: At first, the height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) of the students were measured. Then, flexibility, muscle endurance, muscle strength, and maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), were estimated by the CSTF battery test. Descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA test, and Percentiles 20, 40, 60 and 80 were used to make the normative data and analyze the data. Results: There was a significant difference between females and males in muscle endurance and strength, and Vo2max levels (P<0.05). Flexibility did not show a significant difference (P>0.05). The mean and standard deviation of sit and reach test was 19.85±9.89 (cm), push-up was 11.89±8.48 (n), sit-up was 19.26±9.54 (n/min), hand grip was 14.74±5.64 (kg), and Vo2max was 60.51±5.97 (ml/kg.min) for all participants. Conclusion: This normative data can be used for scoring and grading of female and male intellectual disability students of Hamedan province.
