Effects of Sport Participation on the Basketball Skills and Physical Self of Adolescents with Conduct Disorders

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term effects of sport participation on the basketball skills and physical self-concept of adolescents with conduct disorders (CD). Participants were 24 adolescent males with CD, divided equally into three groups: (a) interestablishment basketball (IEBB), (b) integrated scholastic basketball (ISBB), and (c) control-adapted physical activity (APA). The basketball skills tests and physical self-concept were both administrated 4 times over an 18-month period. Results indicated (a) an improvement in basketball skills in both competitive groups (i.e., ISBB, IEBB), (b) a signifi cant curvilinear trend of physical self-worth scale in the three groups, and (c) no signifi cant changes in physical self-concept in the three groups (i.e., ISBB, IEBB, and APA). In conclusion, the integrated and segregated competitive programs did not represent an effective means for improving the physical self-concept of adolescents with CD.Conduct disorders (CD) are defi ned in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) as follows.A repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated, as manifested by the presence of three (or more) of the following criteria in the past twelve months, with at least one criterion present in the past six months: (a) aggression toward people or animals, (b) destruction of property, (c) deceitfulness or theft, and (d) serious rule violations.

Review: A systematic review of the impact of physical activity programmes on social and emotional well‐being in at‐risk youth

“…Although a number of studies were randomised controlled trials (Basile et al, 1995;Goodway & Rudisill, 1996;Minor & Elrod, 1994;Palermo et al, 2006), only one study described the process of randomisation (Basile et al, 1995). Six studies used quasi-experimental designs (Bloemhoff, 2006;Bonnette et al, 2001;Cross, 2002;Green et al, 2000;Maiano et al, 2007;Robinson et al, 2009). None of the studies reported power calculations to determine if their studies were adequately powered to detect their hypothesised effects.…”

“…Additional benefits were identified by Palermo et al (2006) who found that a 10-month karate programme helped to improve temperament in children with social cognitive and disruptive behaviours. Two sport-based programmes targeting at-risk adolescent boys (Bonnette et al, 2001) and adolescent boys with conduct disorders (Maiano et al, 2007) did not significantly improve physical self-perceptions. Basile et al (1995) compared the effects of a skillmastery intervention to a fitness programme and a no treatment control and found that neither programme significantly improved self-concept in children with behavioural disorders.…”

“…Our search identified 15 studies that evaluated the effects of physical activity programmes on social and emotional well-being in at-risk children and adolescents (Table 1). Seven studies evaluated the effects of outdoor adventure programmes (Bloemhoff, 2006;Cross, 2002;Green, Kleiber, & Tarrant, 2000;Kaiser, Smith, Heleski, & Spence, 2006;Minor & Elrod, 1994;Pommier & Witt, 1995;Wu & Hsieh, 2006), seven studies evaluated the effects of sport and skill-based interventions (Basile, Motta, & Allison, 1995;Bonnette, McBride, & Tolson, 2001;Goodway & Rudisill, 1996;Maiano, Ninot, Morin, & Bilard, 2007;Palermo et al, 2006;Robinson et al, 2009;Tester, Watkins, & Rouse, 1999) and two studies reported the effects of physical fitness programmes (Basile et al, 1995;Collingwood, Sunderlin, & Kohl, 1994). The majority of studies evaluated the effects of programmes among older children and adolescents, however, two studies (Goodway & Rudisill, 1996;Robinson et al, 2009) reported the effects of motor skill interventions in at-risk preschool children.…”

[5][6][7][8] Olumlu fiziksel benlik algısı, beden imajının geliştirilmesi, fiziksel aktivitelerden daha fazla keyif alınması ve sedanter davranışların azaltılmasında psikolojik ve fiziksel açıdan önemlidir. 9 Shavelson ve ark.nın ortaya koyduğu çok yönlü hiyerarşik modelde yer alan fiziksel benlik algısı, bireylerin psikomotor boyutta kendilerini değerlendirmesi olarak tanımlanmakta ve psikolojik sağlığın önemli bir göstergesi olarak ele alınmaktadır.…”
