A study protocol of a randomised controlled trial to investigate if a community based strength training programme improves work task performance in young adults with Down syndrome.

The 10-week community based PRT programme was compared with usual care in 20 adults with Down syndrome (13 men, 7 women; mean age 26.8 ± 7.8 years) and also observed improvement in upper limb muscle strength (mean difference, chest press 1 RM 8.6 kg, 95% confidence interval -1.3 to 18.5 kg, p = 0.08) and upper limb functional activity at 10 weeks (mean difference grocery shelving task -20.3 s, 95% CI -45.7 to 5.2 s, p = 0.11) that approached but did not reach statistical significance.
