Effect of continuous aerobic vs interval training on selected functional fitness parameters of adults with intellectual disability and Down syndrome
(2015)Most individuals with intellectual disability (ID), including those with Down syndrome (DS), are overweight or obese and live a sedentary lifestyle. Non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, high total ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
The effectiveness of training and retraining at various frequencies on the aerobic capacity and intrinsic cardiovascular dynamics (systolic time intervals) in south african employees
(LAM Publications Ltd, 2016)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a serious health threat in most countries globally, placing a severe burden on the workforce in the corporate environment. Physical activity intervention has already been indicated ... -
Validity of the 16-metre PACER and six-minute walk test in adults with Down syndrome
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016)Purpose: The purpose was to establish criterion-related validity of the 16-metre PACER and six-minute walk distance (6MWD) tests to VO2 peak as well as predictors of VO2 peak in adults with Down syndrome (DS). Methods: ...
