Abstract

Background

Online exercise programming reduces transportation and scheduling barriers. This study explored the feasibility of online resistance training for individuals with Down syndrome.

Method

Thirteen individuals (3 M/10 F, age: 21.7 ± 5.9 years) began a 10-week programme delivered using a website with pre-recorded exercise videos (45–60 min each) for 3 days/week. Surveys were used to obtain feedback and track adherence. At baseline and after 10 weeks, participants completed the 30-s sit-to-stand, modified push-ups and 30-s bicep curl tests.

Results

11 (85%) participants completed the programme, and 8 participants (73%) met the ≥ 20 sessions goal. Participants rated (n = 267 ratings) most exercises easy to somewhat easy and exercise videos as fun to a lot of fun (n = 220 ratings, 86.2%). After 10 weeks, participants completed more push-ups (8 ± 6 vs. 12 ± 6; p = 0.031) and biceps curls (7 ± 3 vs. 11 ± 3; p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Remote resistance training programmes may be feasible and should be further evaluated.

在线异步渐进式阻力训练方案对唐氏综合症患者可行吗？

在线运动规划减少了交通和调度障碍。本研究探讨了唐氏综合症患者在线抗阻训练的可行性。方法13例患者（3 M/10 F，年龄：21.7±5.9岁）开始了一项为期10周的计划，该计划使用预先录制的运动视频（每期45-60分钟），每周3天。调查被用来获得反馈和跟踪依从性。在基线和10周后，参与者完成了30秒坐立、改良俯卧撑和30秒二头肌弯曲测试。11名（85%）参与者完成了计划，8名（73%）参与者达到≥20次的目标。参与者（n = 267个评分）认为大多数运动简单到有些简单，运动视频从有趣到非常有趣（n = 220个评分，86.2%）。10周后，参与者完成更多俯卧撑(8±6比12±6；P = 0.031)和肱二头肌卷曲(7±3比11±3；p < 0.001)。结论远程抗阻训练方案可行，值得进一步评价。
