Thesis (M Sport Sc (Sport Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The influence of a six-week perceptual-motor and attentional skills programme,
combined with teaching strategies, on the motor proficiency and attentional
abilities of children diagnosed with ADHD was investigated. The five case study
individuals (ranging for Grade 1- 7) took part in a six-week Purposeful Play
Programme. Baseline, pre-test and post-test scores were obtained from the
Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) and Attention-Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder Test (ADHDT). All five case study individuals showed a
significant improvement on their motor proficiency during retention tests as well as
improvements on some of the behavioural soft signs of hyperactivity, impulsivity
and inattention. / AFRIKAANDE OPSOMMING: Die invloed van ʼn sesweek perseptueel-motoriese en
aandagvaardigheidsprogram, gekombineer met onderrigstrategieë, is op die
motoriese vaardighede en aandagvermoëns van kinders gediagnoseer met ATHS,
bestudeer. Die vyf gevallestudie individue (tussen Graad 1- 7) het aan „n sesweek
Purposeful Play Programme deelgeneem. Die basislyn-, voor- en natoetstellings is
verkry vanaf die Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) en
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Test (ADHDT). Al vyf gevallestudie
individue het ʼn beduidende verbetering in motoriese vaardigheid getoon tydens
retensietoetse asook verbetering in sommige van die gedragstekens van
hiperaktiwiteit, impulsiwiteit en afleibaarheid.
