Effects of High Intensity Interval Training in Down Syndrome

"The HIIT program begins with a warm-up, followed by high-intensity repetitions separated by moderate-intensity recovery intervals. High-intensity exercises are performed near maximum effort, while moderate-intensity periods are maintained at 50% effort. HIIT exercises, involving low-skill movements in short bursts, enhance blood sugar regulation and fat-burning capacity.~The HIIT protocol has four phases:~Warm-Up: 10 minutes, gradually increasing to about 60% of maximum heart rate. Intervals: 4 minutes at 85-95% maximum heart rate. Relief/Recovery: 3 minutes at 60% maximum heart rate, repeated four times. Cool Down: 5 minutes, bringing the heart rate down to around 50% of maximum. Three key components determine the success of HIIT: intensity, duration, and recovery period. Exercises include dumbbell and kettlebell exercises, push-ups, squats, jump training, and stationary cycling"

"outine physical therapy includes stretching exercises, exercises to maintain a normal range of motion, and low-intensity and aerobic exercises for the patients.~Low-Intensity Exercise: The effects of low-intensity exercise become noticeable after about 20 minutes, providing a metabolic boost during the activity. Generally, a longer exercise duration further enhances metabolism."
