简要总结
Some of the clinical characteristics of people with Down syndrome (DS) are orthopedic, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, visual, cognitive and perceptual disorders, which directly affect the quality of their movements. Children with DS often have a sedentary lifestyle or low levels of physical activity which exacerbates problems related to obesity and overall physical health. Therefore, the practice of physical exercise in this type of population is essential to improve their health-related physical fitness. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of an adapted rhythmic gymnastics training program on body composition, tendon architecture and stiffness, and physical capacity in children with DS.
详细描述
Children with DS with medium to moderate intellectual disabilities are required to participate. Participants will complete 10 weeks of training, two days per week. They will be divided into two groups: the Control Group will receive two swimming sessions per week and the Experimental Group will receive two swimming sessions plus two rhythmic gymnastics sessions. Before and after the application of the program, the following will be evaluated: body composition by Inbody 720, muscular architecture and elastography by Logiq® S8 ultrasound scanner and tendon stiffness by Myoton® Pro portable myotonometer. The tendons to be studied will be the Achilles tendon and the patellar tendon.

结局指标
主要结局
functional capacity
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
Functional capacity of the lower body wll be evaluated with Sit to Stand Test adapted.
Stiffness tendon
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
Stiffness tendon will be evaluated with Myoton® Pro hand-held myotonometer (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia). In this test, the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon will be measured.
visceral fat area
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
visceral fat area (area; cm2) will be assessed with the Inbody 720 (Bioespace, Seoul, Korea).
metabolism
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
metabolism (MET; kcal) will be assessed with the Inbody 720 (Bioespace, Seoul, Korea).
Hamstrings flexibility
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
Hamstrings flexibility will be evaluated with Seat and Reach Test (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., USA).
body mass index
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
Body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) will be calcultated from body mass and height
tendon elastography
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
Tendon elastography will be evaluated with the Logiq® S8 ultrasound machine (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI).
balance
时间窗: "baseline and "immediately post intervention"
Balance will be evaluated with the Biodex Balance System stability system (Biodex Medical Systems Inc., USA).
Body composition
时间窗: "baseline" and "immediately post intervention"
Body compisition will be assessed with the Inbody 720 (Bioespace, Seoul, Korea). In this test body mass (BM; kg), muscle mass (MM; kg), fat mass (FM; kg), lean mass (LM; kg), fat-free mass (FF; kg)
