Abstract

Background

Participation in organised and non-organised physical activities among adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome is underexplored. This study aimed to examine differences between organised and non-organised physical activities among adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome.

Methods

Forty participants with Down syndrome (27 woman; mean age 21.4 ± 4.9 years) were recruited. Data on physical activity participation were collected by self- or proxy-reported questionnaires about attendance, involvement and type of physical activity.

Results

Adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome participated in more organised than non-organised activities (P < 0.05), more often (P < 0.05), but there was no difference in the total time spent participating in these activities overall. Participants spent more time in vigorous physical activity during organised activities (P < 0.05) and spent more time in light physical activity during non-organised physical activities (P < 0.05). Dancing (organised activity) and walking (non-organised activity) were the most reported activities.

Conclusions

Participation in both organised and non-organised physical activities is important to increase overall physical activity levels of adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome. Future research exploring physical activity preferences may help guide the planning and adaption of community programmes for this group.

有组织和无组织活动对患有唐氏综合症的青少年总体体育活动水平的影响：一项横断面研究。

背景：对患有唐氏综合症的青少年和年轻成人参加有组织和无组织体育活动的情况尚未进行充分调查。本研究旨在探讨患有唐氏综合症的青少年有组织和无组织体育活动之间的差异：招募了 40 名患有唐氏综合征的参与者（27 名女性；平均年龄为 21.4 ± 4.9 岁）。参与体育活动的数据通过自我或委托人报告的问卷收集，问卷内容包括参加体育活动的次数、参与程度和类型：结果：患有唐氏综合征的青少年参加有组织活动的比例高于无组织活动（P参加有组织和无组织的体育活动对于提高患有唐氏综合症的青少年的总体体育活动水平非常重要。未来对体育活动偏好的探索研究可能有助于指导针对这一群体的社区计划的规划和调整。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intellectual Disability Research is devoted exclusively to the scientific study of intellectual disability and publishes papers reporting original observations in this field. The subject matter is broad and includes, but is not restricted to, findings from biological, educational, genetic, medical, psychiatric, psychological and sociological studies, and ethical, philosophical, and legal contributions that increase knowledge on the treatment and prevention of intellectual disability and of associated impairments and disabilities, and/or inform public policy and practice. Expert reviews on themes in which recent research has produced notable advances will be included. Such reviews will normally be by invitation.
