Disabilities often decrease QOL for individuals, due to potential physical, cognitive, and social limitations. Children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have delayed fundamental motor skills (FMS) and less physical activity compared to neurotypical peers resulting in lower QOL. The purpose of this study is to provide evidence that FMS interventions improve QOL for children with IDD. Objectives/Hypothesis: In the current study we evaluated the impact of three FMS interventions over 18 months on QOL for 10 children (age range from 4 to 14, M =8.88, SD =2.93) with IDD. Methods: The FMS intervention took place over three separate 10 week sessions. Using the Pediatric Quality of Life Scale 4.0 we measured physical, social, emotional, and school functioning QOL. Visual analysis was used to evaluate the group means of each subscale across six time points, revealing a trend toward improved QOL for all 4 QOL subscales. Results: Emotional and social function had the largest improvements. This study addresses the need for longitudinal research on how FMS interventions can enhance QOL for children with IDD. Conclusions: Community based programs focused on FMS can help improved QOL for children with IDD. This research helps to better understand how FMS interventions can improve several areas of life.","PeriodicalId":424246,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disabilities Sports & Health Sciences","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122154684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This investigation examined whether perceived coach behaviour associates with the coach-athlete relationship quality and self-rated season performance among members from two South African male senior national para-sport teams  (n = 23, M age = 32.65). The predictive utility of coaches’ perceived behaviour on the dyadic relationship quality and athletes’ views on their own performance was also determined. Cross-sectional quantitative data were collected by means of the Coaching Behaviour Scale for Sport, Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire and a Likert-scale item recording athletes’ subjective rating of perceived standard of performance for the respective competition season. The team members’ reported fairly good standard of season performances and sound relationship standings with their involved head coaches who were seen to exhibit behaviours most illustrative of mental preparation, personal rapport, and competition tactics. Inferences drawn from the correlation analyses advised that particular adoptive coach behaviour in para-sport coaching appears to be a meaningful construct associated with the establishment and maintenance of relationships with athletes. Regression analyses also exposed coaches’ competition strategy behaviour to be a significant predictor of complementarity in the coach-athlete relationship, which along with the noted positive correlations provide a good basis for further exploration in similar sport contexts.","PeriodicalId":424246,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disabilities Sports & Health Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131586578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because you're afraid of being harmed, moderate-intensity aerobic activities, such as brisk walking, are generally safe for people if you're not sure you're activated or increased your physical activity. This study; why we should do physical activity, risks of inactive behavior, frequency of physical activity, benefits of physical activity and suggestions for physical activity, aims to create more active people. A high level overview of the reviews of published literature. A systematic search of Web of Science, Medline, Pub-Med, and SPORTDiscus, Physical Education Index was employed to find all relevant studies focusing on human participants. Search terms included “Active People ”, “inactivity”, \" Prevalence of Physical Activity \" and “physical activity”. It has been suggested that regular PA health-related diseases have an effective primary and secondary preventive strategy against at least 25 chronic medical conditions with 20-30% risk reduction. Approximately 75% of adults act according to the recommended PA guidelines, while women, adolescents, and older adults have been found to have lower levels of PA-making than men. It was found that there were consistent relationships between PA and motivation, self-efficacy and self-regulation. The PA interventions show that small changes in the PA show a major impact on young people and adults. In conclusion: In studies related to PA, mechanisms that directly affect health and cause positive results should be determined. The PA dose, scope and validity, which may lead to clinically significant changes in the health status of individuals, should continue to examine innovative behavior modification techniques and also improve the access and duration of PA interventions.","PeriodicalId":424246,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disabilities Sports & Health Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130248695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental protocol: For this purpose, 30 Swiss Albino male mice of 3-4 months of age and weight ranging from 45 to 50 g were used. Mice were subdivided in to 3 groups including control, cobalt and cobalt lycopene (combined). The control group mice were given 3 mg/kg/day saline (by intramuscular injection) and 10 mg/kg/day saline (orally) for 30 days in order to achieve equality with administration to the mice in the experimental group). At the end of this process, malondialdehit (MDA), glutathione (GSH), vitamin-E and β -carotene were analyzed in the prepared homogenates. According to findings; Increase in liver MDA levels in cobalt group was significant (p 0.05). It was observed that liver and kidney β-carotene level in cobalt group was lower than control and combined group. This decrease is statistically significant in the kidney (p 0.05).
