Clinical Trial Summary

Children with Down's syndrome (DS) are more liable to vitamin D deficiency. Treating this deficiency with supplements is associated with the risk of intoxication due to increased intestinal absorption or decreased vitamin D metabolism. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of two exercise intensities on the modulation of vitamin D and Parathormone (PTH) levels in children with DS.

Description:

Forty-four DS male children aged from 8-12 years participated in the study. The subjects were assigned randomly into two equal groups. group I received high-intensity treadmill aerobic exercises (T-AE) and group II received moderate-intensity T-AE, three times per week for three months. the blood samples were collected from both groups before the intervention, after one month of intervention, then after three months of intervention to assess serum 25(OH)D and PTH levels.

Intervention

Other:
• High intensity treamill exercise training.
We used the Martti Karvonen formula to calculate the heart rate zone. Firstly, the resting heart rate (rest-HR) was detected for every participant by inviting him to lie in a prone position for 10 minutes while catching a heart rate monitor. After that, the maximum heart rate (max-HR) was calculated by utilizing this formula: maximum heart rate =220- age. Then, we calculated the heart rate reserve (HRR) by using the law: HRR= max-HR - resting HR. Exercise intensity is represented as a percentage of HRR. Finally, the target heart rate (target-HR) was calculated by using the formula: target-HR = HRR x intensity% + rest-HR. Moderate-intensity exercises are defined as the activity which uses 50% to 70% of the HRR, while high-intensity exercises use 70% to 90% of the HRR
