dc.description.abstract | Background: Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder that occurs because of an abnormal
division between cells that results in an extra copy of chromosome 21. Some studies show that
physical exercise in people with DS increases some cognitive capacities, such as memory, and improves
the quality of life. Aim: The main aim of this study was to perform an analysis of the reliability
and feasibility of the SAMU-Disability Fitness (DISFIT) battery in adults with DS. Methods: A
cross-sectional study with a test–retest design was performed in a maximum interval of 2 weeks in
37 subjects (11 women and 26 men) aged between 21 and 58 years old with DS. Eight field-based
fitness tests were proposed to assess the physical fitness (PF) of adults with DS: Body Mass Index
(BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), the Deep Trunk Flexibility test
(DTF), the Hand Grip test (HG), the Timed Stand Test (TST), the 30-s Sit-Up (SUP) and the 6-Min
Walk Test (6MWT). Results: The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) in all the tests was good
and high (>0.80), except for the 6MWT, whose reliability was fair. Conclusion: The SAMU-DISFIT
battery is a reliable and feasible physical fitness battery which has been created with the purpose
of establishing tests which measure the four basic components of PF (flexibility, cardiorespiratory
fitness, musculoskeletal fitness and motor fitness) in adults with DS | es |
