Background: Adults with Down syndrome (DS) are at an elevated risk of chronic health conditions (e.g. obesity, Alzheimer’s disease). Although physical activity can mitigate the effects of these conditions, adults with DS spend more time sedentary relative to the adult general population. This study examined how daily fluctuations in two lifestyle factors, sleep and leisure, affect physical activity in adults with DS.
