The practice of physical activity and its beneficial effects on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity, has been fully demonstrated. However, it is usually referred to the general population. Subjects with mental deficiency are generally excluded from these evaluations and demonstrations, both in terms of the beneficial effects and the preventive proposals that would derive from them.
