Effects Of Aerobic Exercise On Individulas With Down Syndrome Via Telerehabilitation, Zeel K. Patel Miss, Isha Gautami, Namrata Jain, Jacob Hinkel-Lipsker Professor
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
BACKGROUND: Most of the children and adolescents with Down’s syndrome (DS) have poor aerobic capacity, physical fitness and demonstrate diminished cognitive abilities. Recent studies suggest that increased physical activity may prove to be important for maintaining components of cognition, including memory along with physical fitness.
In addition, there is interest among practitioners in determining the efficacy of virtual exercise classes, which can be more convenient for clients. However, it is unknown whether group exercise classes delivered over videoconferencing achieve desired outcomes—particularly in special populations such as those with DS.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect …

Minimal Differences Between Males And Females In Exercise-Induced Increase Of Circulating T Cells Subsets In Older Adults, Seth Rinehart, Kristofer Jennings, Melissa Markofski
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
PURPOSE: To examine potential differences between older adult males and females’ acute post-exercise circulating T cell response. METHODS: Participants were healthy older adults with an average age of 63.0 ± 1.0 years (n= 24, females = 70.8%) and BMI of 24.7 ± 0.7 kg∙m-2. All females were post-menopausal. A single bout of cardiorespiratory exercise at ~70% heart rate reserve and a separate bout of eight resistance exercises at ~70% 1 repetition maximum were conducted at least one week apart. T cell count changes were determined via blood sample at rest and immediately post-exercise for each bout. Multi-color …
