Psychometric properties of two systematic observation techniques for assessing physical activity levels in children with mental retardation

Creator:: Taylor, Christina Anne
Abstract:: Psychometric properties of two systematic observation tools, the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT) and the Children's Activity Rating Scale (CARS), were examined for use with individuals with mental retardation (MR). Eleven children with MR were videotaped while participating in gym-based physical activity. Accelerometer data were collected and synchronized...

Level of physical activity and duration of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity among youth with visual impairment

Creator:: Kindinger, Kerstin
Abstract:: Physical activity is increasingly recognized as a maj or component contributing to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Evidence exists that a physically active behavior is carried over from childhood to adolescents and possibly to adulthood. Limited research about the physical activity behavior of students with visual impairment is available,...

The relationship between balance and fundamental motor skills in children five to nine years of age

Creator:: Overlock, Jennifer Ann
Abstract:: The ability to establish and maintain balance is claimed to be an important prerequisite of movement tasks. However, despite this general belief, there is limited empirical evidence to support the contribution of balance in motor skill performance. Furthermore, psychometric properties of using a computerized force platform to assess balance ability...

Kinematic characteristics and energy expenditure during manual wheelchair propulsion: a comparison of two stroking techniques in non-experienced users

Creator:: Asahara, Sanae
Abstract:: Manual wheelchair propulsion is a physiologically stressful and biomechanically inefficient form of locomotion. The repetitious nature of propulsion puts wheelchair uses at high risk for developing upper extremity overuse injuries. Previous kinematic analysis has revealed that wheelchair users employ several distinct stroking techniques. One of the techniques, circular pattern (CP),...

The effect of physical activity on sleep in children with autism

Creator:: Hagar, Kristine Ann
Abstract:: Sleep is an active process that affects an individual's daily functioning and physical and mental health. It is also beneficial for an individual's overall health and well being. Children with autism often have difficulty sleeping. One common complaint from parents of children with autism is that these children lack sufficient...

Effects of restricted ankle range of motion on human walking : an application to transtibial amputee gait patterns

Creator:: Silverman, Susan R. (Susan Rebecca)
Abstract:: Alterations in gait patterns are commonly observed in individuals with transtibial amputation (TTA) who use a prosthesis. Current commercially available ankle-foot prostheses (AFP) offer very little range of motion (ROM) at the ankle joint. Previous researchers have hypothesized that lack of ankle ROM significantly contributes to alterations in TTA gait...

Practices of physical educators regarding out-of-school physical activity promotion

Creator:: Thom, Stephen (Stephen Crawford)
Abstract:: The role of schools and physical education curriculum in the promotion of physical activity (PA) has been widely recognized in recent years and schools have been identified as an appropriate setting for the promotion of PA (Cale, 2000). Physical educators have the unique role of working with children in a...

The accuracy of pedometers for adults with Down syndrome during controlled and free-walking conditions

Creator:: Pitchford, Edward Andrew
Abstract:: It has been demonstrated that walking is the most common form of physical activity for adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome (DS). The pedometer is common measurement tool to quantify steps walked, yet there is little evidence of the psychometric properties for individuals with intellectual disabilities, particularly DS. Thus,...

Evaluation of a measurement system for evidence-based physical education

Creator:: Jin, Jooyeon
Abstract:: The methods to educate students with disabilities in physical education contexts vary greatly due to their unique characteristics and special needs, requiring different teaching methods on an individual basis. In order to improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities in physical education settings, teachers should employ evidence-based practice (EBP). However,...

A survey of physical education teachers' attitudes and knowledge about working with Mexican Americans

Creator:: Tabb, James Kirk
Abstract:: Attitude and knowledge levels of physical education teachers about working with Mexican American students and families were measured using Doyle and Chng's (1994) Mexican American Attitude and Knowledge Scale (MAAKS). Multicultural training, adapted physical education training, and other relative experiences that might affect attitude and knowledge levels were analyzed. Participants...
