Accuracy of the prediction equation for the determination of maximum heart rate in adults with Down syndrome
(Wiley, 2017)Background The purpose of the study was to determine if the regression formula developed for the prediction of maximum heart rate (HR) is valid for adults with Down syndrome (DS). Methods Thirty‐six adults with DS ... -
Effect of continuous aerobic vs. interval training on selected anthropometrical, physiological and functional parameters of adults with Down syndrome
(Wiley, 2016)Background A large percentage of adults with Down syndrome (DS) are overweight and have extremely low aerobic capacities compared with the general population and persons with intellectual disability without DS. Previous ... -
Effects of detraining on anthropometry, aerobic capacity and functional ability in adults with Down syndrome
(Wiley, 2018)Background Structured exercise has shown to improve parameters of functional fitness in adults with Down syndrome (DS). However, few, if any, continue to exercise after exercise intervention studies. Consequently, the ... -
The health benefits of exercise therapy for patients with Down syndrome: a systematic review
(AOSIS, 2019)Background: Many patients with Down syndrome (PWDS) have poor cardiometabolic risk profiles, aerobic capacities and weak hypotonic muscles, primarily because of physical inactivity and poor diet. Objectives: This study ... -
Test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change scores of twelve functional fitness tests in adults with Down syndrome
(Elsevier, 2016)Aim The purpose of the study was to explore the test–retest reliability and minimal detectable change of selected functional fitness test items in adults with Down syndrome. Methods Forty-three adults with Down syndrome ...
