Abstract

Although the "stay at home" slogan changed the lifestyle habits of all people, the situation did not affect all of them equally. During the state of alarm, people with ID, who are prone to a sedentary lifestyle, stay at home without being able to go to their various centers (educational, leisure, day centers, etc.) and their physical inactivity increases. Both the break with their routines and the new virtual space places them into new and unfamiliar tasks, making them one of the most vulnerable groups. Given this, and with the aim of continuing with part of the physical activity that 13 young people with ID developed until then, within the framework of digital health, an innovative experience of virtual Taekwondo (TKD) training is designed, through Instagram, eTKD. The evaluation is carried out qualitatively through observation of the sessions and with an interview with both the participants and their families. The study concludes with the importance of routines and the possibilities offered by technologies to respond to a minimum of the physical activity needs of people with ID as long as they have the involvement and participation of families.

Key words: Covid-19, eHealth, intellectual disability, physical activity, taekwondo, technology
