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...

Exploring the physical activity levels of students with mental retardation and students without disabilities in both school and after-school environments

Creator:: Foley, John Thomas
Abstract:: The focus of this research was to gain an understanding of physical activity in elementary school-aged children with mental retardation (MR). The primary purpose of the first study was to investigate physical activity levels of children with and without MR in both school and out of school environments. The secondary...

Relations between Physical Fitness and School-Day Physical Activity Behavior in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Creator:: Tyler, Kiley J.
Abstract:: Background. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social-communicative deficits and restricted and repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities (APA, 2013). While current estimates suggest 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with ASD, more alarming statistics indicate 1 in 50 school-aged children live with the disorder (Blumberg, Bramlett, Kogan,...

Motor Skill Proficiency, Performance and Participation in Children with Physical Disabilities

Creator:: Ross, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Background: Mastery of fundamental motor skills (FMS) in childhood is proposed to facilitate participation in physical activity (PA) opportunities, through context-specific application of FMS (Clarke & Metclafe, 2002; Stodden et al., 2008). Children with disabilities impacting motor skill development thus are at greater risk for low PA participation. Evidence indicates...

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...

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,...

Factors influencing physical educators' inclusion behaviors towards students with autism spectrum disorder

Creator:: Morgan, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: The inclusion of students with disabilities in general physical education (GPE) classes has become a concept and practice that is expected if not always understood. A review of inclusion in physical education literature suggested that GPE teachers possess less than favorable feelings towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in...

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,...

Inclusion of youth with disabilities in afterschool programs

Creator:: Taylor, Jennifer Julie
Abstract:: Afterschool staff have been identified as a critical piece in the positive outcomes youth receive through participation in afterschool programs (Apsler, 2009; Daud & Carruthers, 2008; Riggs & Greenberg, 2004). These programs may benefit youth with disabilities but little is known about what influences staff to include youth with disabilities...

Sources of variability in daily physical activity for secondary students with and without developmental disabilities

Creator:: Kim, So-Yeun
Abstract:: Generalizability theory was used to examine sources of variability in daily physical activity levels of secondary students with and without developmental disabilities (DD), and to determine minimum number of days required for monitoring their typical physical activity levels. Sixteen participants with DD (M = 16.7 years, SD = 2.7 years),...
