- Abstract
The purpose of this papers is to improve the recovery and compensation of psihomotric status to children with Down syndrome. We applied in lesson of physical education a program specifically designed and tailored to the aerobics made by Bosu apparatus. The research was conducted over six months, two days per week, for 15 minutes. The subjects were 6 children with Down syndrome. Comparison of the results obtained at the initial coordination of static test (media ± standard deviation are x ± = ± 4,502 4,333) and the results obtained when testing the final static coordination (x ± s = 7.5 ± 5,925) highlight that 3.2 sec. difference is statistically significant, p < 0,0005. In terms of general dynamic coordination results from initial testing and final testing, there was a difference of 1,6 seconds, was statistically significant, p<0,0005. Aerobics exercises executed at Bosu ball brought significant improvement.
