배드민턴 운동프로그램이 지적장애 아동의 신체구성 및 기초체력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

For research subjects, this study was aimed at 14 students who were aged 8~13 attending special education schools in the D region and had been assessed as being level 2~3 intellectual disability. These were divided into 7 research subjects in an experimental group and 7 research subjects in a comparison group. The experimental treatment was conducted twice a week for 12 weeks, and a badminton exercise program was performed that was made up of a warm-up exercise (10 minutes), main exercise (40 minutes), and a warm-down exercise (10 minutes). Then, an analysis was carried out of any change in variables for the results of body composition and basic physical strength. Regarding data processing, the verification of any difference in the mean between measuring periods for each group and between groups by measurement period used repeated measures ANOVA, and the statistical significance level by each item was set at the 0.05 level. The following are the main research results. First, concerning body composition, there was a significant difference in body fat amount and body fat percentage by reciprocal action between periods and between groups. Also, regarding the experimental group before and after exercise, there was a significant difference in body fat percentage and body fat amount. Second, in relation to basic physical strength, there was a significant difference in muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance, and agility by reciprocal action between periods and between groups. Concerning the experimental group before and after exercise, there was a significant difference in muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance, and agility with all of them increasing. In conclusion, as a result of performing a badminton exercise program for 12 weeks aimed at students with intellectual disability, there was a positive effect on the students both in terms of physical composition and basic physical strength.
