Examining the Effects of Resistance Training on Cognition, Mood, Motor Function, Strength, Body Composition and Bone Density in Adults with Down Syndrome

Adult individuals with Down syndrome are an underserved population that are at great risk for a host of different pathologies from aging and lack of activity. Resistance training (RT) could be one modality that can significantly influence areas of interest. Our study will look at the effect of a RT intervention on many of these variables.
