A amostra foi composta por 12 crian as, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre tr¨ºs e 10 anos. A interven o consistiu em atividades de pular, andar, brincar e correr na cama el¨¢stica tr¨ºs vezes por semana, cada sess o de 10 minutos por um per¨ªodo de 12 semanas. Foi utilizada uma plataforma de for a modelo EMG System do Brasil para avalia o do controle postural. Utilizou-se an¨¢lise descritiva e o teste comparativo "t" de Student. Os resultados demonstraram diminui o significativa nas vari¨¢veis: ¨¢rea do centro de press o, velocidade m¨¦dia anteroposterior (AP) e m¨¦dio lateral e frequ¨ºncia anteroposterior, o que resultou em melhoras no controle postural do grupo de crian as com S¨ªndrome de Down participantes da interven o. The experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program with exercises on the trampoline in postural control of children with Down syndrome. Twelve children of both sexes, aged between three and ten years have participated of the study. The intervention involved jumping activities, walking, run and play on the trampoline, three times a week, ten minutes of sessions and was held for twelve weeks. For evaluating the postural control it was used a force platform, model EMG System of Brazil. Descriptive analysis and comparative Student's t-test was performed. Results showed a significant decrease in variables such as area of central pressure, anteroposterior average speed (AP) and mediolateral and anteroposterior frequency, which resulted in improvements in the postural control of children with Down syndrome that participated of this intervention. %K Desenvolvimento infantil %K Equil¨ªbrio postural %K Atividade motora %K Child development %K Postural balance %K Motor activity %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1807-55092013005000013
