Abstract
The objective of the study was to verify if there is a relationship between the cognitive and motor profile in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS). Cross-sectional study (CAAE:58089622.5.0000.5515), with 27 individuals, 15 from the SD Group with a mean age of 17.5±5.5 years, and 12 from the Control Group, with a mean age of 19.1±5.2 years, evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and MoveHero software (to analyze the motor profile), the Borg Scale was also used. The SD group had a statistically significant MMSE score when compared to the Control group (p<0.001). Post-hoc comparisons showed that the SD Group had a greater EA in MoveHero (p= 0.008) and the SD Group had an increase in HR from rest to the end of the activity (p= 0.050). Thus, it can be concluded that individuals with down syndrome have a greater motor performance deficit, under the influence of the cognitive profile.
