In the education sector is a challenge for teachers to generate pedagogical strategies within their classroom considering the characteristics of the population. Additionally, teachers do not know the physical and social conditions of their students, which they can’t generate plans according to their needs. Objective: To characterize the physical condition and socioeconomic status of students with intellectual disabilities in the district schools of the city of Bogotá for people with disabilities. Method: Cross-sectional study, which used Brockport physical fitness test and the WHO STEPS survey. Population: 132 children and young people with intellectual disabilities. Results: In terms of body composition, 62.12% are in the healthy area and 6.82% have low weight, which requires follow-up by nutrition professionals; and 17.42% present high risk, a population that requires follow-up. In relation to the physical fitness the majority of the population, a 72.06%, need to improve in the grip strength and strength of abdominals, variables related to cardiovascular risk. Finally, it is important to mention that 73% of the population is in stratum 1 and 2, which can influence the practice of physical activity. Conclusion: The population has a low physical fitness that is associated as in other studies with the socioeconomic status of families. The cardiovascular risk expressed in percentage of fat continues to be an element to work in the population.
