Brief Summary: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of aerobic-based virtual reality exercise training and traditional aerobic exercise training on physical fitness functional capacity cognitive functions and quality of life in individuals with Down syndrome
Detailed Description: The most common chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21 resulting in Down syndrome Individuals with Down syndrome have a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal neurological and cardiovascular system problems compared to healthy individuals Physical activity and exercise play a significant role in the treatment of Down syndrome Among the preferred exercise programs in treatment aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory functions has positive effects on physical fitness parameters enhances quality of life and improves cognitive function In addition to traditional aerobic exercise training using devices such as bicycles and treadmills virtual reality-based aerobic exercise training is also a widely used method However there is a lack of studies on the use of aerobic-based virtual reality exercises in individuals with Down syndrome in the literature The studies available in the literature mainly focus on balance and postural control in virtual reality exercises

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of aerobic-based virtual reality exercise training compared to traditional aerobic exercise training on physical fitness functional capacity cognitive function and quality of life in individuals with Down syndrome

The study plans to include 40 participants with Down syndrome aged between 13 and 18 years The participants will be divided into three groups Aerobic-Based Virtual Reality Exercise Training Group Traditional Aerobic Exercise Training Group and Control Group The Aerobic-Based Virtual Reality Exercise Training Group will perform aerobic exercise training using Xbox Kinect 360 device while the Traditional Aerobic Exercise Training Group will use a treadmill for aerobic exercise training During the exercise training participants heart rate and oxygen saturation will be monitored using a pulse oximeter and the training will be supervised by a physiotherapist The exercise program will be conducted twice a week for a total of 10 weeks The individuals in the Control Group will be advised to continue their standard daily activities

The physical fitness components of all participants will be evaluated using the Eurofit Test Battery The Timed Up and Go Test and 6-Minute Walk Test will be used to assess participants submaximal functional capacitiesThe Childrens Quality of Life Scale will be used to assess quality of life and The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function will be used to evaluate cognitive function To assess physical activity levels and monitor them the participants will be administered the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire on a weekly basis for 10 weeks The enjoyment of physical activities by the participants will be evaluated using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale
