Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aims of the present project include 1) to study the longitudinal effects of whole-body vibratory exercise on bone metabolism in adolescents with and without DS and 2) to evaluate whether a low frequency vibratory training program consisting of 3 sessions per week for 9 months (each vibratory session last approximately 10 minutes and includes 5-6 bouts of 1 min with 1 min rest between bouts) can improve bone development in these populations. Finally, and additional aim of the project is 3) to determine how long these effects may last after the end of the intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Whole-body vibration training (Power Plate®) on bone mass and bone metabolism in adolescents with and without Down syndrome.

Intervention Type DEVICE

DS-NONWBV

This group will continue with their day-to-day lifestyle during the course of the project.
