Relationship between disability orientation and participation of children with disabilities in aquatic programs

Creator:: Schram, Bridgette M.
Abstract:: Increased physical activity (PA) in children has been linked to improved quality of life, as well as the establishment of life-long PA habits that lead to improved health outcomes. The literature suggests that children who participate in organized sport programs engage in more PA than children who do not. Notably,...

The Effects of Video Modeling on Test of Gross Motor Development-3 Performance among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Creator:: Case, Layne
Abstract:: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been reported to have motor skill delays and deficits. However, there have been challenges to these findings on whether these deficits are due to lack of movement skills or inaccurate assessment methods. Due to relative strengths in processing visual stimuli as opposed to...

Comparison of Relationship between Accelerometer Outputs and Energy Expenditures in People with and without Down syndrome during Walking Activity

Creator:: Leung, Chun (Willie)
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without...

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...

Physical activity levels of students with and without a disability in inclusive and self contained physical education

Creator:: Sweeney, Kristin B.
Abstract:: As obesity rates of children and adolescents rise within the Unites States, physical activity becomes increasingly important for adolescents with and without a disability. As the trend toward increased obesity rates in adolescents continues, there are similiar increases in the percentage of children being educated in inclusive settings. The purpose...

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...

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 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,...

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),...
