Özet:

 This study aims to examine the effect of an 8-week chronic exercise program on body composition and some biochemical parameters in individuals with Down Syndrome. Individuals with Down Syndrome were included in the study and divided into two groups experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a chronic exercise program lasting 75 minutes per session, conducted 4 days a week over 8 weeks. Before and after exercise, body composition and some biochemical parameters were obtained from both experimental and control groups. For statistical analysis of the data, SPSS 25 package program was used. Since the data were normally distributed, parametric tests were used in statistical analyses. For intra-group comparisons, Paired Samples T Test and for inter-group comparisons, Independent Samples T Test were applied. Comparison of the pre-test and post-test values of the experimental and control groups revealed no statistically significant difference P.05 in BMI, FP, WC, WHR, preperitoneal adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, glucose, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, AST and ALT values of the experimental group. In the control group, only a significant increase was observed in triglyceride value P0.05. There was no statistically significant difference in any of the measured parameters as a result of intergroup comparison P0.05. Consequently, the 8-week chronic exercise program did not have statistically significant results in body composition and some biochemical parameters of individuals with Down Syndrome.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı Down Sendromlu bireylere uygulanan 8 haftalık kronik egzersiz programının vücut kompozisyonu ve bazı biyokimyasal parametrelere etkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya Down Sendromlu bireyler dahil edilmiş, deney ve kontrol grubu olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Deney grubuna 8 hafta boyunca haftada 4 gün 75er dakikalık kronik egzersiz programı uygulanmıştır. Egzersiz öncesi ve sonrası hem deney hem de kontrol gruplarından vücut kompozisyonu ve bazı biyokimyasal parametreler alınmıştır. Verilerin istatiksel analizinde SPSS 25 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermesinden dolayı istatiksel analizlerde parametrik testler kullanılmıştır. Grup içi karşılaştırmalar için Paired Samples T Testi, gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar için de Independent Samples T Testi uygulanmıştır. Deney ve kontrol grubunun ön test son test değerleri karşılaştırıldığında deney grubunun vücut kompozisyonu parametrelerinden VKİ, YY, BÇ, BKO, preperitonal yağ dokusu ve subkutan yağ dokusu, biyokimyasal parametrelerden glukoz, HDL, LDL, trigliserid, AST ve ALT değerlerinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır P,05. Kontrol grubunda ise sadece trigliserid değerinde anlamlı bir artış görülmüştür P0,05. Gruplar arası karşılaştırma sonucunda ise ölçülen parametrelerin hiçbirinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık görülmemiştir P0,05. Sonuç olarak 8 haftalık kronik egzersiz programının Down Sendromlu bireylerin vücut kompozisyonunda ve bazı biyokimyasal parametrelerinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı sonuca ulaşılamamıştır.
