DONNELLY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3958-3967 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluated the feasibility of remotely delivered yoga for improving four physical activity-related skills: motor skills, strength, balance, and flexibility in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Nineteen of 20 participants enrolled (age 13.2+2.2 years; 60% male) completed the 12-week intervention and attended 83% of the scheduled yoga sessions. Overall, physical activity-related skills improved pre to post intervention (?=0.90, p=0.005, 95% CI 0.72-1.0). Specifically, significant increases in leg strength (12.5%, p=0.039), flexibility (40.3%, p=0.008), and dynamic balance on the right (11.1%, p=0.001) and left legs (8.1%, p=0.003) were observed across 12 weeks. These results demonstrate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of yoga to improve physical activity-related skills in adolescents with ASD.

The association between cardiovascular health and cognition in adults with Down syndrome / Lauren FRANK in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 15 (2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 15 (2023) Titre : The association between cardiovascular health and cognition in adults with Down syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lauren FRANK, Auteur ; Brian HELSEL, Auteur ; Danica DODD, Auteur ; Amy E. BODDE, Auteur ; Jessica C. DANON, Auteur ; Joseph R. SHERMAN, Auteur ; Daniel E. FORSHA, Auteur ; Amanda SZABO-REED, Auteur ; Richard A. WASHBURN, Auteur ; Joseph E. DONNELLY, Auteur ; Lauren T. PTOMEY, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Humans  Female  Male  Down Syndrome/complications  Cross-Sectional Studies  Exercise/physiology  Cardiorespiratory Fitness/physiology  Cognition  Alzheimer’s disease  Blood pressure  Dementia  Down syndrome  Exercise  Fitness  Intellectual disabilities  Physical activity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : INTRODUCTION: Evidence in the general population suggests that predictors of cardiovascular health such as moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), cardiorespiratory fitness, and systolic blood pressure are associated with cognitive function. Studies supporting these associations in adults with Down syndrome (DS) are limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between systolic blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and MVPA on cognition in adults with DS. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional analysis using baseline data from a trial in adults with DS. Participants attended a laboratory visit where resting blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness (VO(2 Peak)), and cognitive function (CANTAB® DS Battery) were obtained. The cognitive battery included tests measuring multitasking, episodic memory, and reaction time. Physical activity (accelerometer) was collected over the week following the laboratory visit. Pearson correlations and linear regressions were used to measure the impact of systolic blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and MVPA on cognitive outcomes. RESULTS: Complete data was available for 72 adults with DS (26.8 ± 9.3 years of age, 57% female). At baseline, VO(2 Peak) (21.1 ± 4.2 ml/kg/min) and MVPA were low (14.4 ± 14.4 min/day), and systolic blood pressure was 118.3 ± 13.3 mmHg. VO(2 Peak) was correlated with simple movement time (rho =  - 0.28, p = 0.03) but was not significant using a linear regression controlling for age and sex. Systolic blood pressure was significantly associated with episodic memory (first attempt memory score: β =  - 0.11, p = 0.002; total errors: β = 0.58, p = 0.001) and reaction time (five-choice movement time: β = 4.11, p = 0.03; simple movement time: β = 6.14, p = 0.005) using age- and sex-adjusted linear regressions. No associations were observed between MVPA and multitasking, episodic memory, or reaction time. CONCLUSION: Predictors of cardiovascular health, including cardiorespiratory fitness and systolic blood pressure, were associated with some aspects of cognition in adults with DS. While future research should examine the role of improved cardiovascular health on delaying decreases in cognitive function and dementia in adults with DS, we recommend that health care providers convey the importance of exercise and cardiovascular health to their patients with DS.

DONNELLY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.89-95 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at a heightened risk for obesity. Family-level measures of nutrition and physical activity may help explain factors contributing to disproportionate rates of weight gain. Twenty adolescents with ASD participated in baseline testing for a study to assess the feasibility of remotely-delivered yoga. Parents completed the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) survey and anthropometrics and physical activity were assessed in the adolescents. A median split was applied to the FNPA score to create high and low obesogenic environments and nonparametric O’Brien’s multiple endpoint tests were used to evaluate the differences. Between-group differences were found in anthropometrics (p=0.01) but not physical activity (p=0.72). Implications for a multifaceted family-based approach to obesity prevention are discussed.
