The short- and long-term effectiveness of a staff-monitored, home-based aerobics program was assessed in a group of 15 individuals with developmental disabilities and compared to fitness levels of 12 non-participating controls. Results showed significant improvement on some aspects of fitness, but difficulties with measurement and maintenance were encountered. (Author/MSE)
