Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
