建構視覺障礙學生水中體適能課程並檢視其成效

Abstract

視覺障礙者因視覺的缺損，影響參與運動的機會，因此建構一套較低運動傷害的水中體適能課程，對於視覺障礙者而言是十分重要的。本研究旨在建構一套適合視覺障礙學生的水中體適能課程，並在課程介入後檢視其對健康體適能之成效。 本研究採單一受試研究法之撤回設計處理，以台北市某啟明學校三位視覺障礙學生為研究對象，進行為期8週、每週3次、每次50分鐘的水中體適能課程，課程介入後，研究者蒐集研究對象在基線期、介入期與維持期的資料，進行視覺分析、c統計分析。 本研究結果為：一、水中體適能課程對視覺障礙學生身體質量指數和體脂率無立即與維持成效；二、水中體適能課程介入對視覺障礙學生心肺適能及下肢肌力的立即與維持成效有改善，但未達顯著；三、水中體適能課程介入對視覺障礙學生柔軟度有立即成效。 因此，本研究的結論是建構一套視覺障礙學生的水中體適能課程需針對其個別化需求進行設計之和教學教法之調整，而對於視覺障礙學生而言，水中體適能課程介入是有正面效益的。It is important to construct a curriculum of aqua fitness with lower injury rates for students with visual disability since there are less opportunities for them to participate in sports. The study aimed to investigate the effects on curriculum development of aqua fitness for students with visual disability. The study employed single-subject designs, and the participants were three visually impaired students at a visually impaired school in Taipei. The present research conducted an eight-week aqua fitness for fifty minutes at a time, and three days a week. The data of baseline, intervention, and maintenance periods were collected to be analyzed by automated visual inspection systems and C statistics. The outcomes of this study are as follows: 1. There were no significant differences between the body mass index (BMI) and the body fat on the immediate and maintaining effects. 2. The immediate and maintaining effects on muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness were not significantly improved. 3. The immediate effects of the aqua fitness statistically significantly improved the flexibility of the students with visual disability. Therefore, the results of the current study suggested that the individual differences, course adjustments and teaching methods should be taken into consideration when constructing an aqua fitness curriculum for students with visual disability. Also, the students with visual disability could benefit from the aqua fitness.
