Effects of a jogging program on cardiovascular fitness and work performance of mentally retarded adults.

C R Beasley.   

Abstract

Changes in cardiovascular fitness and work performance of mentally retarded adults resulting from a jogging program were evaluated with randomly assigned experimental and control subjects using posttest measures from Cooper's 12-minute Run-Walk Test and timed samples of work performance. Pretest measures were utilized as covariates in analysis of covariance. Statistically significant results in both fitness and work performance favored the experimental group.
