“…Accordingly, mean correlation coefficients were significantly lower in participants with intellectual disabilities than in participants without intellectual disabilities, which confirms Hypothesis 1 and replicates earlier findings from Arnold et al (). Furthermore, the observation of the large inter‐individual variability as well as the negative correlations for some participants (Figure b) replicates findings from other authors (Arnold et al, ; Chen et al, ; Stanish & Aucoin, ). Thus, on average RPEs seem to be lower in people with than without intellectual disabilities.…”

“…Subjective perception of exertion is typically evaluated on the basis of rating scales like the Borg Scale (Borg, ): athletes differentiate ten to fifteen exertion or fatigue levels verbally, or they point at numbers or images of a human in different bodily postures reflecting different states of exertion. In the present study, perceived exertion was assessed at nine times during training with the OMNI Scale for children (Robertson et al, ; Utter, Robertson, Nieman, & Kang, ), which had been previously been applied in studies with people with intellectual disabilities by Stanish and Aucoin () and Chen, Ringenbach, Snow, and Hunt (). The OMNI Scale differentiates ten levels of exertion ranging from very, very weak (1) to very, very tired (10).…”

“…Although the traditional Borg Scale has also been shown to provide sound results on RPE in people with intellectual disabilities (Arnold et al, ), the OMNI Scale might be more appropriate, because it further illustrates different grades of exertion by a caricature of a person in different states of exertion. These visual illustrations have been validated for RPE ratings in people with intellectual disabilities by Chen et al ().…”

Background Perception of exertion is essential for self‐regulation in sports. The ability to rate perceived exertion (RPE) is regarded as psychophysiological competence, although cognitive components of RPE are largely unknown. The present study tested the hypothesis that cognitive processing speed, perseveration and figural fluency correlate with RPE. Methods The present study tested relationships between the performance in neuropsychological tests and the competence for RPE assessed during soccer training in 30 adults with and 22 adults without intellectual disabilities. Results Mean correlation coefficients for RPE and heart rate differed significantly between participants with intellectual disabilities (r = .41) and participants without intellectual disabilities (r = .71). The variance of RPE could be partially explained by neuropsychological performance measures reflecting cognitive processing speed and perseveration and by age. Conclusions The results point to an impaired perception of exertion in people with intellectual disabilities, which can be partially explained by individual neuropsychological competencies.

“…During the last 15 s of each stage on the treadmill walking protocol, participants were asked to select a number of the picture on the scale in response to their perception of exertion at that moment. Chen, Ringenbach, Snow, and Hunt () have indicated that individuals with DS were able to perceive and estimate their levels of physical exertion, which was reflective of the change in HR, from this modified version of RPE scale. The average of the RPE numbers represented the participants' subjective estimation of physical exertion on this treadmill walking activity.…”

Obesity and sleep problem are potentially detrimental to walking performance (i.e., fewer walking steps) in individuals with DS. Thus, individuals with DS may adopt a slow walk speed due to the increased balance deficits and physical fatigue that result from obesity and sleep fragmentation, respectively. Exercise interventions, which have the potential to reduce obesity and OSA, are recommended to improve the accomplishment of PWC in individuals with DS.

“…Members of the family group or a guardian were present throughout the training session, motivating the participation during the activities and after each block, and providing hydration to students with 125 to 250 mL every 15 min, according to the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine [25]. Additionally, in the same period, one of the teachers assessed, through an image, the perception of effort by means of the modified 4 level Borg scale for young adults [26]. Hydration and effort perception control were always performed expeditiously to guarantee the continuity of the workout session.…”

Background: Concurrent training of strength and endurance has been widely ued in the field of health, with favorable effects on body composition. However, the effect on the body composition of a ludic-motor concurrent proposal in adults with Down syndrome has not been quantified yet. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a concurrent training program based on motor games on body composition indicators and cardiometabolic risk on schooled male adults with Down syndrome. Methods: The sample is composed of 15 male adults with Down syndrome from Chile. Body composition variables such as body mass index, waist circumference, height to waist ratio, skin folds, perimeters, and muscle areas were assessed at the beginning and end of the program. Subsequently, a program of motor games was designed and implemented for 10 months. Results: Mean and standard deviation for body fat were pre (25.36 ± 5.60) and post (23.01 ± 6.20)%; waist circumference pre (86.00 ± 8.97) and post (82.07 ± 8.38) cm. Brachial perimeter and muscle area were pre (22.30 ± 2.80) and post (23.61 ± 2.28) cm; pre (40.19 ± 10.09) and post (44.77 ± 8.48) cm2, respectively. Our findings showed significant results (p < 0.05): body fat %; sum of folds; waist circumference; height to waist ratio; brachial perimeter and brachial muscle area. Conclusion: A concurrent training program implemented through motor skills games decreases body fat and cardiovascular risk and increases the muscle mass in male adults with Down syndrome.
