First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a specially designed group resistance training program (called RESID) can help adults with Down syndrome age in a healthier way. About 36 adults aged 20 to 45 with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities will take part, along with their caregivers. The program uses exercises like lifting weights or using resistance bands, and researchers will measure memory, strength, mobility, and overall well-being to see if it works and if people enjoy it.
