Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder resulting from the absence of parental gene expression in the proximal region of the long arm of chromosome 15 (13q-11.2q). It is characterized by neonatal hypotonia, hyperphagia, obesity, hypogonadism, intellectual disability (ID), deficiency in GH, underactive and delayed motor development. Daily physical training programs (TP) showed an increase in lean body mass (LBM) and reduction of fat body mass (FBM) in PWS. However, it was not observed TP with overload. Studies have demonstrated the positive effect of short physical TP on LBM, the gait pattern and the postural strategy. However, no physical TP was built individually and provided a progressive overload throughout the monitoring period. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of PT on indicators of physical fitness in two children with PWS. This study is a descriptive follow-up study of 2 cases of children with PWS (CA with 11 years old and CB 14 with years old) who were evaluated, subjected to one TP lasting 12 weeks and were reassessed at the end of period. We used the following assessment tools for the evaluation of physical fitness indicators: anamnesis, assessment of the physical fitness level (PRODOWN); anthropometric complementary assessment; body composition assessment (DEXA) and physical level activity questionnaire (FLAQ). The PT was adapted for the specific population of this study (children with PWS) so that the participants had a progressive increase in training load during the PT execution. It was possible to verify the end of this study the positive effects of the physical training program for children with PWS. There was improvement in several indicators of physical fitness and weight reduction in CA and increased spontaneous physical activity in CB. Furthermore, after 12 weeks and 10 weeks of training, CA and CB, respectively, increased almost all test of assessment battery of PRODOWN.
