ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT People with Down Syndrome (DS) present metabolic differences when compared to the general population, which ends up at a higher prevalence of overweight and lower rates of aerobic fitness. The aim of this study was analysing the association of aerobic fitness and body composition in individuals with DS. Thirty individuals with DS from the city of Londrina / Brazil with a mean age of 18.00±3.66 years were evaluated. The variables body mass index, body fat, and aerobic fitness (VO²peak) were investigated. Men were taller than women, presented a higher percentage of lean body mass and higher VO²peak, while women showed higher means for android, gynoid and total fat. Aerobic fitness was positively associated with bone mineral density and inversely associated with nutritional status, lean body mass and body fat.
RESUMO
RESUMO Pessoas com Síndrome de Down (SD) apresentam diferenças metabólicas quando comparadas à população em geral, o que resulta em maior prevalência de sobrepeso e menores índices de aptidão aeróbia. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a associação da aptidão aeróbia com a composição corporal em indivíduos com SD. Foram avaliados 30 indivíduos com SD da cidade de Londrina / Brasil com média de idade 18,00±3,66 anos. Foram investigadas as variáveis índice de massa corporal, gordura corporal, e aptidão aeróbia (VO²pico). Os homens foram mais altos que as mulheres, apresentaram maior percentual de massa magra e maior VO²pico, enquanto as mulheres apresentaram maiores médias para gordura andróide, ginóide e total. A aptidão aeróbia associou-se inversamente ao índice de massa corporal, massa magra e gordura corporal.
