The objective of the study was to verify the effect of exergames on the anthropometric profile, cardiorespiratory fitness and functional autonomy in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Research approved under protocol No. 1,180,516 and CAAE 45756115.5.0000.5285. The sample consisted of 11 participants (29.9±9.46 years) with DS of both sexes (4 women and 7 men) from the Psychosocial Research and Intervention Laboratory (LAPIP) of the Federal University of São João Del Rei (UFSJ). ). Subjects with any clinical condition that could be aggravated by physical exercise (PE) were excluded. Cardiorespiratory fitness (AC), body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and functional autonomy (GDLAM Protocol) were evaluated. Initially there was an adaptation to the virtual environment for 4 weeks, then the intervention period was 16 weeks, 3 times a week on alternate days, lasting 60 min, using the Xbox 360™ and Kinect™ tool. The results show that the BMI was significantly reduced in the pretest (27.25±6.73) in relation to the posttest (26.95±6.82), in both groups. The WHR of the female group in the pre and post test was 0.89 ± 0.004 and 0.84 ± 0.03, respectively, in the male group in the pre and post test it was 0.95 ± 0.08 and 0. .90 ± 0.08, respectively. For AC, the pre- and post-test means were 31.63±5.78 and 27.81±4.79 for both groups. Functional autonomy had an initial mean (GI) of 38.62±10.86, dropping significantly to 24.17±7.46 after physical exercise with exergames (p<0.005), in both sexes. The study concluded that exergames brought significant improvements in parameters related to AC, BMI, WHR and functional autonomy in people with DS, thus improving their quality of life.
