• Future directions on how to preserve the EF
• Exercise Physiology, Testing and Prescription for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Down Syndrome
• Presenter: Thessa Hilgenkamp, PhD
• This course will provide an overview of specific aspects of exercise physiology for individuals with intellectual disabilities including Down syndrome, including autonomic function, musculoskeletal and sensory differences that impact participation in physical activity and exercise. Based on over 15 years of experience of exercise testing and prescription for individuals with intellectual disabilities including Down syndrome, the speaker will discuss the dos and don’ts for exercise testing in this population, and will provide recommendations for exercise prescription.
• Understand differences in exercise physiology when working with individuals with intellectual disabilities including Down syndrome
• Create an exercise testing environment conducive for a successful experience for everybody involved
