The Effects of Teaching in People with Intellectual Impairment on Physical Activity and Quality of Life The Author: Karina Lužina. Academic Advisor: asist. J. Kesienė, Vilnius University. Physical activity, health and and quality of life are interrelated. Variety of scientific researches declares that people with intellectual impairment have lack of physical activity. Accordingly, scientific publishments announce one – time and multiple teaching effects on improvement of physical activity. Keywords: physical activity, physical capasity, quality of life, teaching session, people with mental disorder. The aim of research work: to evaluate teaching effect on physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life in people with mental disorder. Tasks of work: 1. To estimate the indicators of physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life in participants of this study 2. To asses alteration of physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life in experimental and control groups participans with intellectual impairment. 3. To compare alterations of physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life in both experimental and control groups. Materials and methods. The study was accomplished at Trakų disabled people employment center. This study attended 50 people with mental intellectual impairment. Quality parameters of physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life were evaluated. The subjects were assigned to two groups: experimental (n=25) and control (n=25). The experimental group received teaching session and control group have got printed recomendations of physical activity. Data analysis. Was performed using statistical analysis programs „SPSS for Windows 23“ and „Excel 2010“. Results and conclusions. Physical activity results of Harvard step test determined that both groups results were average. Evaluated experimental group physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life results, the alteration improved statistically significantly (p<0,05).In control group physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life results improved respectively, but insignificantly (p>0,05). Experimental and control groups quality results of physical activity, physical capasity and quality of life improved, but no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p>0,05). |
