What this study is about

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy 21, or the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. A calibrated weight scale is used to measure participants' weight accurately. A stadiometer measures participants' height to the nearest millimeter. A flexible non-stretchable waist circumference tape is used to assess abdominal obesity. Body mass index (BMI, ratio of height and weight, expressed as kg/m2 6-Min Walk is a test to evaluate aerobic fitness level. Brisk Walk, a type of moderate intensity aerobic exercise can be an effective component of a weight loss program for overweight and obese children with Down syndrome. The aim of this study to compare the effects of aerobic exercise alone versus aerobic exercise combined with a low calorie diet, to provide insights into optimal inte A randomized controlled trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted at Rehab Clinic, Lahore in a total duration of 10 months. Sample size will be 22. There will be two study groups, Group I: Aerobic Exercise with Low calorie diet and Group II: Aerobic Exercise without Low calorie diet. Non-Probability Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
