Ninety-five recreationally active young adults （46 women and 49 men） reported for testing on three occasions. After an initial MBIA assessment, subjects performed 45 minutes of continuous AE, RE, or did nothing, which served as the control （CON）. During the AE trial, subjects performed an acute bout of treadmill exercise at 60%-75% of their age predicted maximal heart rate （APHRmax）. The RE trial consisted of an 8-exercise circuit consisting of; 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions at 65%-75% of their one-repetition max （1RM） for each exercise. During the CON trial, subjects sat quietly in the laboratory. Body composition was reassessed immediately following the exercise bouts for comparison. Mean percent body fat （%BF） decreased following the exercise bouts （AE = 0.7%, RE = 1.6%; P 〈 0.001） likely due to significant （P 〈 0.001） reductions in impedance （AE： 40Ω, 32Ω, and 29Ω; RE： 4592, 29Ω, and 28Ω） measured at 5, 50 and 500 kHz. Conversely, significant increases in %BF （0.7%, P 〈 0.05）, body mass （0.2 kg, P 〈 0.001）, and impedance at 5 and 50 kHz （15Ω and 16Ω; P 〈0.001） were observed following the CON trial. These findings support that MBIA assessments should be performed prior to exercise in order to prevent exercise-induced reductions in %BF values.展开更多

METHOD： We investigated the relationships among measures of CRF, PA, and body composition in 30 young adults with DS （age： 21.3 ± 5.5 years） using a cross-sectional study design. RESULTS： Male participants presented on average with a BMI of 32.9 ± 10.0 kg/m2, a percent body fat of 22.2 ±13.0%, and a six-minute walk distance （6MWD） of 411.7 ± 66.3 m. Female participants presented on average with a BMI of 31.6 ± 13.5 kg/m2, a percent body fat of 26.7 ± 15.1%, and a six-minute walk distance （6MWD） of 360.4 ± 91.2 m. 6MWD shared a positive relationship with leisure time physical activity levels （r = 0.56, β = 1.488） and a negative relationship with body mass index （BMI; r = -0.49, β = -2.561）. No relationship between body composition and PA was found. CONCLUSIONS： It seems that higher PA levels and lower BMI relate to better CRF in young adults with DS. Physical activity and body composition appear to be unrelated in persons with DS.展开更多
