On the importance of promoting physical activity for young people with Down syndrome
Children and young people with Down syndrome often have lower muscle strength, motor ability and physical fitness than other young people without disabilities. In Gerth Hedov’s and Ann-Christin Sollerhed’s Fysisk aktivitet för unga med Downs syndrom [Physical activity for young people with Down syndrome] (Studentlitteratur), the importance of physical activity for this group is emphasized. According to our reviewer Lars Kristén, the book offers an exemplary mapping of opportunities and obstacles for young people with Down syndrome to practice physical activity.
