主要目的：本研究的目的是探讨患有唐氏综合症 (DS) 的儿童和青少年的体力活动 (PA)。方法和程序：利用青少年体力活动促进模型（YPAP）进行半结构化访谈，以探索 DS 儿童和青少年的 PA。参与者为 3 名男性和 5 名女性，年龄在 6 至 21 岁之间（16.38 + 5.04 岁（平均值 + 标准差）），均被诊断患有 DS 病症。对参与者及其父母进行了二元访谈。访谈被记录和转录，并完成了数据的归纳和演绎分析。主要成果和结果：结果围绕 YPAP 模型的关键主题构建，包括： 促成因素（季节变化、交通、活动类型和独立性）；诱发因素（享受、社交互动、不喜欢 PA、遵循指示以及对 PA 的理解）；强化因素（支持和机会、父母和照顾者）；以及 PA 参与的障碍（耳朵问题）。结论：研究中患有 DS 的儿童和青少年通常只从事有趣的、非结构化的活动。 PA 参与的关键促进因素是社交互动和家长支持。提高青春期 DS 患者的独立水平可能对以后生活中参与 PA 产生有益影响。
Primary objective: The aim of this study was to explore physical activity (PA) amongst children and young people with Down syndrome (DS). Method and procedures: The youth physical activity promotion model (YPAP) was used to inform semi-structured interviews to explore PA of children and young people with DS. Participants were three males and five females, aged between 6 and 21 years (16.38 + 5.04 years (mean + SD)) who had been diagnosed with the condition DS. Dyadic interviews were conducted with the participant and their parent(s). The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and inductive and deductive analyses of the data were completed. Main outcomes and results: The results were structured around the YPAP Model's key themes included: enabling factors (seasonal variation, transport, type of activity and independence); predisposing factors (enjoyment, social interaction, dislikes of PA, following instructions, and understanding of PA); reinforcing factors (support and opportunities, parents, and care providers); and barriers to PA engagement (ear problems). Conclusion: The children and young people with DS in the study typically only engaged in fun, unstructured activities. Key facilitators for PA participation were social interactions and parental support. Increasing the level of independence for people with DS within adolescence may have beneficial effects for PA participation in later life.
