Trisomy 21(T21) is a genetic condition provoked by a modification in the pair of the chromosome 21 and gives rise to an inappropriate chromosomal distribution during the period of meiosis. Contrary to individuals with normal development, where each cell corresponds chromosomes 46, these individuals, verifies the presence of 47 chromosomes. People with this chromosomal change have physical characteristics, cognitive and behavioral, common among them, inherent to the pathology. In these cases, individuals with T21 have muscular hypotonia, affecting motor development and all body muscles, as well as complications balance, poor coordination and motor function among other situations difficulty in handling objects. There by, the work presented was to verify the effects of the implementation of a strength training program, an adult with T21, in anthropometric measures, in cardiovascular endurance and strength indicators. That way, in order to improve some of motor characteristics exhibited by these individuals, it seemed appropriate to plan and develop a specific work at the level of component strength. When one focuses on this conditional variable, particularly in the stock improvement work such as transport objects, pushing, jumping, running, crawling, pulling, resist pressures or, for example, support charges, would be to allow a more effective performance of their basic daily tasks.
