- Abstract
The objective herein was to analyse the effects of eight weeks of canoe training on the dynamic body balance of children and adolescents with Down syndrome. Seven subjects, four boys and three girls (10.8 ± 2 years), participated in this study, attending eight weeks of canoe training (two weekly sessions). The Four Square Step Test was used to measure dynamic body balance; this test involves completing a course with obstacles as quickly as possible. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the values of dynamic body balance obtained in the pre- and post-tests. To compare the values between the boys and girls, the Mann-Whitney test was used, and the size of the effect of the intervention was calculated using the Cohen scale. It was concluded that eight weeks of canoeing was sufficient to produce positive effects on the dynamic body balance of children and adolescents with Down syndrome.
