Evaluación de una intervención en actividad física en niños con síndrome de Down

Wii‐based exercise program to improve physical fitness, motor proficiency and functional mobility in adults with Down syndrome

“…The Eurofit Test Battery is a reliable tool to assess and discriminate the performance levels of physical fitness in patients with IDs (MacDonncha et al ; Skowronski et al ). Specifically, the field‐based Six‐Minute Walk Test has also been used to assess aerobic capacity in this population (Mosso et al ). However, according to the American College of Sports Medicine (), maximal oxygen uptake is considered the most reliable measure of cardiorespiratory fitness.…”

Nutrition assessment and indicators of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat in children with Down syndrome

“…For WHI (percentage of weight in the 50th percentile of the real height of children in the CDC/NCHS curves) in the classification we used: <90% low weight, 90---110% normal weight, 110---120% overweight, >120% obesity. 15 The tricipital skinfold (TSF) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) indicators obtained were: mid-upper arm muscle circumference (MUAMC), mid-upper arm muscle area and mid-upper arm fat area (MUAFA). These indicators were classified according to Frisancho's proposal 16 as very low (<5p), low (5p ≤ 10p), normal (10p ≤ 90p), high (90p ≤ 95p) and very high (>95p).…”

Evaluación nutricional e indicadores de grasa visceral y subcutánea en niños con síndrome de Down

“…En el caso del IMC se utilizó los siguientes puntos de corte: bajo peso (< p10), normal (> p10-p85), sobrepeso (> p85-< p95) y obesidad (≥ p95). Para el IP/T (% peso en el percentil 50 de la talla real de niños en las curvas CDC/NCHS) en la clasificación fue: < 90% bajo peso, 90-110% normal, 110-120% sobrepeso, > 120% obesidad 15 .…”
