Description
Summary:Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine if hormonal and metabolic responses could explain exercise limitation in Down syndrome (DS). Research design and methods: Fourteen men with Down syndrome and 15-age-matched controls participated in the study. Firstly, a maximal treadmill test was conducted. Secondly, during a treadmill submaximal incremental test, blood samples were collected for the determination of endocrine and metabolic variables. Results: Compared to control, Down syndrome showed lower V sub(O) sub(2) sub(-) sub(m) sub(a) sub(x) (P
