This article seeks to provide guidelines for the development of mentoring interventions to support physical activity for this group of people. Method: An interpretative scoping review was implemented. Eligible studies involved people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mentors, mentees or program beneficiaries of physical activity-related mentoring. Results: Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Mentoring was linked with improved personal factors, enhancement in environmental bindings, and healthier behaviours. Common barriers included caregiver over-protection, transportation limitations, and insufficient mentor-mentee ratios. Conclusion: Effective physical activity mentoring for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities hinges on balancing personal development with supportive social and physical environments. Integrating face-to-face and e-mentoring components may broaden reach and sustainability. Future work should prioritise rigorous trial designs and consistent reporting of FITT principles to refine evidence-based guidelines. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
