The hypothesis posed was whether being part of a football/soccer team influenced the quality of life (QL) of the people who participated in it since their perception of themselves is enhanced by factors, such as self-determination, social inclusion, emotional well-being, physical well-being, material well-being, rights, personal development, and internal relationships. The objective was to evaluate the QL of people with Down Syndrome (DS) using their self-perception (n = 39) and the perception of the informants (family members, teachers) (n = 39). The KidsLife-Down Scale, with a few modifications, was used. In general, differences of opinion between the subgroups of participants with DS and informants showed that results were higher in terms of perception for participants in the DS subgroup. Scores for all variables were higher for those participants with DS who said they did engage in practicing competitive football/soccer. Although the perception of informants provides a great deal of information regarding the QL of participants with DS, participants with DS should also be involved in the evaluation process and their self-perceptions taken into account. It is not participating in a football team that causes the conclusions of the study, but training (which includes the friendly matches that are played), the cause correlated with the improvements detected in the athlete’s DS.

“…These conditions may be alleviated or prevented by increasing physical activity and decreasing sedentary behaviour levels (Paul et al 2019). Adults with DS exhibit low levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary behaviour (Phillips & Holland 2011;Agiovlasitis et al 2020;Oreskovic et al 2020). This knowledge base, however, is not conclusive due to methodological concerns with accelerometer-based measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviouraccelerometers have not been calibrated for adults with DS.…”

Background Triaxial accelerometer output [vector magnitude (VM) counts] may better estimate physical activity intensity as reflected in the rate of oxygen uptake (V ˙O2 ) than the traditional vertical axis (VA) counts in adults with Down syndrome (DS). This study examined the accuracy of VM vs. VA counts in estimating V ˙O2 in adults with and without DS across different physical activities and sedentary behaviours. Methods Sixteen adults with DS (10 men and 6 women; 31 ± 15 years) and 19 adults without DS (10 men and 9 women; 24 ± 5 years) performed 12 tasks. V ˙O2 was measured by portable spirometer (K4b 2 , Cosmed) and VM and VA with an accelerometer (wGT3X-BT, Actigraph). Results Vector magnitude and VA were significant predictors of V ˙O2 in adults with DS (P < 0.001; R 2 = 0.74 and 0.65, respectively) and adults without DS (P < 0.001; P < 0.001; R 2 = 0.75 and 0.61, respectively). Absolute error of prediction was significantly smaller for VM than VA for sitting, playing app, drawing, sweeping, standing and basketball (P ≤ 0.005), but smaller for VA than VM for walking at 0.8 m•s À1 (P = 0.005). Bland-Altman plots for adults with and without DS indicated narrower limits of agreement for VM than VA (À5.57 to 5.57 and À6.44 to 6.44 mL•kg À1 •min À1 ; À6.21 to 6.17 and À7.75 to 7.74 mL•kg À1 •min À1 , respectively). Conclusions Vector magnitude and VA are significant predictors of V ˙O2 in adults with and without DS, yet VM more accurately estimated V ˙O2 than VA for most tasks. Development of accelerometer-based prediction of physical activity levels in adults with and without DS may improve by utilising VM counts.

Background In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic, preliminary research has reported a significant decline in physical activity (PA) and an increase in sedentary behaviour (SB) among typically developed children and adolescents. Limited research has looked at the current situation of PA and SB during this pandemic among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID). This study investigated the situations about PA and SB among school‐aged children and adolescents with ID on China's mainland during the COVID‐19 outbreak. Methods In total, 837 parents of children and adolescents (ages 6–18 years) with ID from 15 special education schools of Shandong Province in China were recruited through convenience sampling in the study. Parents reported PA and SB among children and adolescents with ID through the Children's Leisure Activities Study Survey‐Chinese version (CLASS‐C) online questionnaires. Results From parents' reports, Chinese children and adolescents with ID during the COVID‐19 pandemic participated in approximately 10 min of moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity, and engaged in approximately 530 min of SB every day. Meanwhile, only 17.4% of children and adolescents with ID were able to achieve the recommendation of 60 min of daily moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity and 76.1% of children and adolescents with ID spent more than 2 h on SB per day. Additionally, the problems of decrease PA and excessive SB were more prominent in older adolescents with ID compared with younger children with ID. Conclusion In China, the low level of PA and high level of SB is particularly evident in children and adolescents with ID during the outbreak of COVID‐19. The great majority of children and adolescents with ID did not meet the recommended amount of PA while undergoing excessive SB under the long‐term home quarantine environment. Therefore, immediate attention and great effort should be made to deal with this severe situation among this vulnerable population in the mainland of China.
