本研究的目的是检查唐氏综合症儿童的身体活动模式。采用横断面方法和加速度计测量唐氏综合征儿童（N = 104）在久坐、轻度和中度至剧烈体力活动中所花费的时间。结果表明，14至15岁的青少年是最久坐不动的，花在轻度和中度到剧烈的身体活动的时间最少。随着年龄的增长，儿童的身体活动普遍减少，这一趋势与发育正常的青少年相似。这项研究的参与者被发现花了大部分时间从事久坐不动的活动。结果表明，大多数参与者没有积累推荐的60分钟中等或剧烈的体力活动。
The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity patterns of children with Down syndrome. A cross-sectional approach and accelerometry were used to measure the time children with Down syndrome (N = 104) spent in sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Results indicated that adolescents from ages 14 to 15 years were the most sedentary and spent the least amount of time in light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. A general trend of decreasing physical activity as children increase in age was found. This trend is similar to that found among typically developing youth. Participants in this study were found to spend a majority of their day engaged in sedentary activities. Results indicate that most participants were not accumulating the recommended 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity.
