目的：本研究旨在探討青少年智能障礙者健康體適能和適應行為表現之相關。方法：以 32 位就讀於高中綜合職能科 1-2 年級之輕至中度智能障礙學生為對象，進行 Brockport 體適能檢測，並由與研究參與者至少有 6 個月以上頻繁接觸的班級導師填寫適應行為評量系統中文版二版(ABAS-II)量表。隨後，使用SPSS for windows 17.0 套裝軟體進行描述性統計、淨相關及同時迴歸等統計分析。結果：(1)控制性別、年齡及障礙程度等因子後，青少年智能障礙者漸速折返跑趟數和 ABAS-II 量表的社會知能組合分數達中度顯著正相關(r = 0.43, p = .019)；左右腳柔軟度和 ABAS- II 量表的整體適應、概念知能、社會知能和實用技能等組合分數亦呈中度顯著正相關(r = 0.46〜0.62, p < .05)；BMI、改良式捲腹和等距扶地撐三項身體適能與 ABAS-II 量表的整體適應、概念知能、社會知能和實用技能等組合分數則未達顯著相關；(2)迴歸分析顯示：青少年智能障礙者漸速折返跑趟數和左右腳柔軟度可以解釋 ABAS-II 量表的社會知能組合分數 44.1%的變異量，且迴歸效果達顯著水準[F(3,28)＝9.15, p<.001)]；左右腳柔軟度可以解釋 ABAS-II 量表的實用技能組合分數19.1%的變異量，迴歸效果也達顯著水準[F(2,29)＝4.657, p＝.018)]；左右腳柔軟度對ABAS-II 量表的整體適應及概念知能組合分數之解釋力則未達顯著水準。結論：輕至中度高中智能障礙學生心肺適能和下肢柔軟度與適應行為表現有顯著的關聯，且其心肺適能和下肢柔軟度能預測其在社會知能及實用技能等適應領域的表現。因此，未來在青少年智能障礙者健康促進課程的指導上，可以針對這兩項健康體適能要素進行能力增強，應可提升他們的適應行為表現，藉此以提高其生活品質。

This study aims to explore the correlation between health-related physical fitness performance and adaptive behavior in adolescents with intellectual disabilities. The participants were 32 high school students with mild to moderate ID. The Brockport Physical Fitness Test was conducted, and the ABAS-II Chinese Version was completed by class tutors. Descriptive statistics, partial correlation, and simultaneous regression analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows 17.0. After controlling for variables such as gender, age, and disability levels, adolescents with ID showed a moderately significant positive correlation between the number of times of completing the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test and the social skills composite score of the ABAS-II (r = 0.43, p = .019). In addition, there were moderately significant positive correlations between the lower extremity flexibility and composite scores in general adaptive composite and conceptual, social and practical skills of the ABAS-II (r = 0.46 to 0.62, p < .05). The simultaneous regression analysis revealed that the cardiorespiratory fitness and lower extremity flexibility can explain 44.1% of the variance in the social skills composition score on the ABAS-II scale. And the lower extremity flexibility explained 19.1% of the variance in the practical skills composition score on the ABAS-II scale. The present findings suggest that the guidance of health promotion program can focus on the enhancement of the cardiorespiratory fitness and lower extremity flexibility in the future, which could improve ID’s adaptive behavior performance and further enhance their quality of life.
