Summary

This study looks at whether a specially designed group resistance training program (called RESID) is safe, enjoyable, and helpful for adults with Down syndrome aged 20 to 45. The program includes exercises like lifting weights or using resistance bands. Researchers want to see if it improves memory, daily living skills, strength, and overall well-being. All 36 participants will eventually take part in the program, and the study will also track costs and any barriers to participation.
