The adaptation of the GameSquad exergaming intervention for young adults with Down syndrome: A pilot feasibility study
Attendance and adherence to the weekly gameplay goal were high among adults with DS who were able to reach and sustain moderate intensity during the exergame sessions. Exergaming represents a home-based option for accumulating minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity that is feasible for and acceptable to adults with DS.
