Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial, and children aged 7-17 who were diagnosed with "Special Learning Disability" in a special education center in Kocaeli-Darica were included as a sample. Children were divided into experimental and control groups by randomization. In addition to the individual training program they received from the special training center, the experimental group was given goal-oriented balance and coordination exercises for 8 weeks, 2 days a week for 40 minutes. The control group continued only the individual training program. All participants and their parents were informed about the study, and an informed consent form was obtained from the participants and their parents. In order to collect data from the participants; "Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire for Children" to determine physical activity levels, "Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire for Children" to determine their quality of life, "Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test 2 short form" to evaluate motor skills, "Burdon Attention Test" to measure attention level used. These tests and forms were repeated before starting the study and at the end of the study. Pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.

exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

In addition to the individual support training program, the exercise group was given a balance and coordination exercise protocol including 40 minutes, 2 days a week.

These exercises are:

It consisted of warm-up (10 minutes), purposeful balance and coordination exercises (20 minutes), and cool-down (10 minutes) exercises.

Balance and coordination exercises with purpose were created with a series of exercises based on copying the shape of the blocks on the cards placed at the beginning of a track consisting of stations at the end of the track. The stations were composed of "hopscotch station", "tandem walking station in one line", "bounce station", "bucketing ping pong balls station" and "eight running stations".
