Darbo tikslas – Nustatyti taikomosios fizinės veiklos poveikį autistų savarankiškumo įgūdžių ugdymui. Hipotezė – Autistiškų vaikų savarankiškumo įgūdžių pagerėjimas po taikomosios fizinės veiklos programos taikymo. Darbo objektas – Autistiškų vaikų savarankiškumo įgūdžiai. Tyrimo problema: Taikomoji fizinė veikla – ugdymo metodas, kurio poveikis autizmo sutrikimą turintiems vaikams, nepakankamai tiriamas ir aptariamas, nors teigiama, kad fizinė veikla autistams būtina lygiai taip pat kaip ir komunikavimo, bendravimo ugdymas, elgesio modifikavimas ir kt. Šiuo metu mes neturime pakankamai atliktų tyrimų ir informacijos, apie autizmo sutrikimą turinčių vaikų, fizinės veiklos įpročius ir unikalius poreikius, fizinei veiklai kylančius trukdžius ir skatinimo veiksnius, kuriai veiklai jie teikia pirmenybę ir būtent kokia fizinė veikla, geriausiai ugdo tokių vaikų funkcinius gebėjimus. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Įvertinti autistų savarankiškumo įgūdžių pasireiškimo lygmenį, atsižvelgiant į amžiaus grupes. 2. Nustatyti ir palyginti, autistų savarankiškumo įgūdžių raidos ypatumus ir pokytį, tarp vertinimų, atsižvelgiant į amžiaus grupes. 3. Nustatyti taikomosios fizinės veiklos poveikį autistų savarankiškumo įgūdžių ugdymui. Atlikus tyrimą, galima daryti tokias išvadas: 1. Įvertinus, autistų savarankiškumo įgūdžius, atsižvelgiant į amžiaus grupes nustatyta, kad blogais savarankiškumo lygmens rodikliais pasižymėjo 5 – 7 metų vaikai autistai, kai tuo tarpu 4 metų ir jaunesni, bei 8 metų ir...

Hypothesis – improvement of autistic children's self-sufficiency skills after application of adapted physical activity programme. Work object – Autistic children's self-sufficiency skills. Research problem: Adapted physical activities - training method whose impact onto children with autism disorder has not been sufficiently researched and discussed, though it is claimed that physical activities to autists are equally mandatory as training of communication and interaction, behaviour modification and etc. Currently, we do not have sufficient researches made and information collected about the physical activity skills of the children with autism disorder and their unique needs, barriers arising for physical activities and promotion factors, which activities they prefer and which physical exercises mostly train such children's functional abilities. Research tasks: 1. Evaluate the level of demonstration for the autists' self-sufficiency skills referring to their age groups. 2. Determine and compare the development peculiarities of the autists' self-sufficiency skills and an alteration among assessments referring to the age groups. 3. Determine the impact of the adapted physical activities onto the training of the autists' selfsufficiency skills. After the research such conclusions may be made: 1. After assessing the autists' self-sufficiency skills referring to the age... [to full text]

Au regard de la littérature, il est bien identifié que l’obésité et le vieillissement altèrent les capacités de l’équilibre et de la marche des individus, altérations potentiellement associées à une plus grande difficulté à réaliser les activités de la vie quotidienne. Nous pouvons alors nous interroger sur les effets combinés du vieillissement et de l’obésité sur les capacités de l’équilibre et de la marche. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous avons, tout d’abord, montré que l’obésité présente une contrainte additionnelle sur les modifications des capacités de l’équilibre et de la marche liées au vieillissement, favorisant l’augmentation des limitations fonctionnelles chez une population âgée obèse. Ensuite, nous avons rapporté qu’un programme d’activités physiques adaptées basé sur des exercices d’équilibre, de renforcement musculaire et de motricité était une modalité de prise en charge efficace chez les personnes âgées obèses, permettant d’améliorer leurs capacités neuromusculaires au niveau des membres inférieurs, et par conséquent, leurs capacités d’équilibre et de la marche. / It is well recognized that obesity and aging impair individuals balance and walking abilities. These alterations are potentially associated with greater difficulty in performing activities of daily life. However, the magnitude of the effects on functional abilities of the combination of aging and obesity, as observed in obese elderly,requires further investigations. Through this thesis work, we, first of all, showed that obesity presents an additional constraint to age throughout the process of stabilization and walking in elderly. This aggravates the functional limitations in the obese elderly in activities of daily life. Then, we reported that an adapted physical activities program based on balance, muscular reinforcement and mobility exercices optimize balance and walking abilities of obese elderly in extreme situations likely by developing their neuromuscular capacities in the lower limbs.

Title: The influence of dance training on mood and feelings of people with paraplegia Objectives: The objective of this work was to detect using POMS questionnaire, whether the dance education has a positive effect on mood of people with paraplegia. Specifically, we focused on feelings such as depression, activity, anxiety and fatigue. Methods: The survey is a quantitative type using the POMS questionnaire (Profile of Mood State). Research has become a set of 40 people with paraplegia. 20 people were the control group and 20 persons were experimental group. Results: Dance education has significantly reduce the feeling of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and increase activity in patients with paraplegia. Dance in our case, show better results than any other sporting activity. Keywords: Dance education, paraplegia, mood, feelings, emotions, sports, music, adapted physical activities

Title: Analysis of the current offer of leisure activities with focus on physical activity for primary school pupils with special needs in Prague Objectives: The main objective of this work is to analyze the services offered in the field of leisure activities with focus on sports and physical activity (PA) for primary school pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in Prague. Methods: We use two sources of data in our qualitative research. The first source is data obtained from the analysis of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports specifically for this research. The second source of data is a modified survey questionnaire created by Linhartova (2018). The questionnaire responses were obtained from 49 respondents, who were managers of centers and instructors of PA who provide leisure PA in Prague. Results: The research discovered insufficient support for PA among Prague primary school pupils with SEN in their free time. It turned out that on the one hand the offer of provided PA is not adapted to children with SEN and in the same way the offered activities are used by these children only to a very small extent, where it is more about individuals. The study also points to a set of barriers limiting the implementation of these PA. We identified obstacles in the area of insufficient...
