Summary

The current study aimed to determine the appropriate exercise intensity for the rehabilitation of children with down syndrome.

Detailed description

Two groups of down syndrome children were recruited. one group received mild-intensity treadmill training while the other received moderate-intensity treadmill training. Eccentric knee extensors and ankle plantar flexors peak torques were assessed before and after the intervention. Also, functional mobility was assessed for both groups before and after the intervention. The within and between-subjects effect was used to analyze the obtained data before and after the intervention. isokinetic dynamometer and the time up and go test were used for evaluation.
