AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate movement acceleration characteristics in 
      adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) and typical development (TD), while playing 
      bowling and golf videogames on the Nintendo((R)) Wii. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 
      sample comprised 21 adolescents diagnosed with DS and 33 with TD of both sexes, 
      between 10 and 14 years of age. The arm swing accelerations of the dominant upper 
      limb were collected as measures during the bowling and the golf games. The first 
      valid measurement, verified by the software readings, recorded at the start of 
      each of the games, was used in the analysis. RESULTS: In the bowling game, the 
      groups presented significant statistical differences, with the maximum (M) peaks 
      of acceleration for the Male Control Group (MCG) (M = 70.37) and Female Control 
      Group (FCG) (M = 70.51) when compared with Male Down Syndrome Group (MDSG) 
      (M = 45.33) and Female Down Syndrome Group (FDSG) (M = 37.24). In the golf game 
      the groups also presented significant statistical differences, the only 
      difference being that the maximum peaks of acceleration for both male groups were 
      superior compared with the female groups, MCG (M = 74.80) and FCG (M = 56.80), as 
      well as in MDSG (M = 45.12) and in FDSG (M = 30.52). CONCLUSION: It was possible 
      to use accelerometry to evaluate the movement acceleration characteristics of 
      teenagers diagnosed with DS during virtual bowling and golf games played on the 
      Nintendo Wii console.
