Aerobic exercise training programmes for improving physical and psychosocial health in adults with Down syndrome

Sport Intervention Programs (SIPs) to Improve Health and Social Inclusion in People with Intellectual Disabilities: A Systematic Review

“…Interventions were revealed to be quite effective in improving participation and compliance. However, in studies by Andriolo et al [15], Slaman et al [53], and Matthews et al [54], the interventions were not effective in significantly increasing levels of PA. Their quality assessment is low.…”

Correlation between Gross Motor Proficiency and Body Composition in Children with Down Syndrome

“…As shown in table (4) and figure (1) there was no significant correlation between gross motor proficiency and BMI (r= -0.141; P > 0.05).…”

Wii‐based exercise program to improve physical fitness, motor proficiency and functional mobility in adults with Down syndrome

“…The withingroup effect on the Wii-intervention group was large (d = 0.982), which is quite significant as there is some controversy regarding exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness in people with DS. Andriolo et al (2010) stated that there was no sufficient evidence to demonstrate that aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with DS. Conversely, Dodd & Shields (2005) had opposite findings, suggesting that aerobic exercise could increase several cardiorespiratory fitness outcomes (peak oxygen consumption, peak minute ventilation, time to exhaustion and maximal workload).…”
