Abstrakt: Aim. The purpose of our research consisted in the realization and implementation of a special training program for a group of 12 people with Down syndrome, who participated, for a period of 6 months, in physical education activities, by using exercises specific to the Colpbol game. Methods. Among the tests used, the following were found: the Matorin Test, the coxo-femoral mobility measurement, the Flamingo test, the Y Balance Test, as well as anthropometric measurements. All the data were collected before and after the participation of people with Down syndrome in the training program and were processed using the SPSS program. Results. All measured variables improved, as a result of the participation of people with Down syndrome in the program specially created for them, with physical exercises specific to the Colpbol game. Conclusions. Our conclusions draw attention to the importance of the presence and constancy of physical activity among people with Down syndrome, and the results obtained by us highlight this finding, in the sense that they do not simply participate in sports programs, but significantly improve their physical condition and anthropometric characteristics.
