The hypothesis posed was whether being part of a football/soccer team influenced the quality of life (QL) of the people who participated in it since their perception of themselves is enhanced by factors, such as self-determination, social inclusion, emotional well-being, physical well-being, material well-being, rights, personal development, and internal relationships. The objective was to evaluate the QL of people with Down Syndrome (DS) using their self-perception ( = 39) and the perception of the informants (family members, teachers) ( = 39). The KidsLife-Down Scale, with a few modifications, was used. In general, differences of opinion between the subgroups of participants with DS and informants showed that results were higher in terms of perception for participants in the DS subgroup. Scores for all variables were higher for those participants with DS who said they did engage in practicing competitive football/soccer. Although the perception of informants provides a great deal of information regarding the QL of participants with DS, participants with DS should also be involved in the evaluation process and their self-perceptions taken into account. It is not participating in a football team that causes the conclusions of the study, but training (which includes the friendly matches that are played), the cause correlated with the improvements detected in the athlete's DS.
提出的假设是，成为足球/英式足球队的一员是否会影响参与其中的人的生活质量（QL），因为他们的自我认知会受到诸如自主、社会包容、情感幸福、身体健康、物质幸福、权利、个人发展和内部关系等因素的增强。目的是利用唐氏综合征（DS）患者的自我认知（n = 39）和信息提供者（家庭成员、教师）的认知（n = 39）来评估他们的生活质量。使用了经过一些修改的儿童生活-唐氏量表。总体而言，DS患者亚组与信息提供者之间的意见差异表明，DS亚组参与者的认知结果更高。对于那些表示确实参与竞争性足球/英式足球训练的DS患者，所有变量的得分都更高。尽管信息提供者的认知提供了大量关于DS患者生活质量的信息，但DS患者也应参与评估过程并考虑他们的自我认知。导致该研究结论的并非是加入足球队，而是训练（包括进行的友谊赛），这一因素与在DS运动员中检测到的改善相关。
