Abstract
Objective: To promote the healthy development of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, this study uses badminton to combine sports intervention with cognitive intervention to explore the content of sports teaching and cognitive intervention programs suitable for the learning of students with intellectual disabilities.
Methods: This research selected 26 mildly mentally disabled students in special education schools (age: 14.5 ± 0.8 years old), the subjects were randomly assigned to three groups by the digital randomization method, which badminton physical intelligence group (BSI), badminton group (BS) and control group (CON), with BSI conducting "physical intelligence" integration badminton intervention, and BS conducting badminton intervention, the intervention cycle was 12 weeks, with 3 teaching sessions per week, each session lasted for 40 min. The subjects' cognitive abilities and basic motor skills were analyzed.
Results: The results showed that BSI had highly significant differences in all cognitive ability test items (p < 0.01); BS had significant differences only in visual attention, visual memory, and motor imitation (p < 0.05). The results of incremental changes between groups before and after the intervention showed that BSI compared with CON had significant differences in all aspects except in object constancy (p < 0.05); BS compared with CON had higher incremental means than CON in visual attention, visual memory, and movement imitation, with significant differences (p < 0.05); BSI compared with BS had significant differences in all aspects except in object constancy and visual memory aspects, there is a significant difference (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The "Body-Smart Integration" badminton intervention can improve the cognitive ability of students with intellectual disabilities in visual, auditory, imitation, concept learning, object permanence, etc., and the effect of improving the cognitive ability of students with intellectual disabilities is better than that of the badminton group and the control group.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
