“…These findings are in accordance with previous studies focused on dance or physical activity (Dinold, 2000;Stewart, Robinson, & McCarthy, 1991). Nevertheless, it is notable that in a previous study of Kurková, Válková, and Scheetz (2011) different findings were discovered in deaf athletes who frequently described their interactions during sport activities with hearing athletes as being marginalized from socialisation.…”

“…Dancers with hearing loss were asked about their family backgrounds for a possible history of hearing impairment, their school education to identify integration or segregation, their hearing loss, and their overall history of involvement with Square dance. The selection of interview questions was based on a study by Kurková, Válková, and Scheetz (2011). Each interview was held in a quiet environment with no interruptions.…”

Background: Hearing, a strong line of communication that enables individuals to learn about the world around them, is a major factor contributing to the psychomotor development of every individual. Hearing loss can also affect the conception and perception of sounds and rhythm. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe and analyse the benefits of Square and Round dancing for persons with hearing loss. Methods: The present study is an analyticdescriptive qualitative research. The sample was constituted non-probabilistically based on the following features: a) a participant had to have hearing problems (hearing loss) and b) had to have participated regularly in Square dance for at least two years. Each participant was asked to name possible people to be interviewed (snowball technique). We analysed the data of 7 individuals (6 males and 1 female) with hearing loss. The mean age of the dancers with hearing loss was 51.3 years. The participants had no cochlear implants or any other physical or vision related impairments.Results: The present findings constitute the first published survey regarding Czech Square dancers' status, their family's hearing status, hearing aid use, communication preference, education in integrated or segregated settings, the influence of family background on dance initiation, coach preference (hearing or deaf), and the environment for participation in Square dance as a mode of physical activity with regular dancers and with dancers with hearing loss as well. In the present sample of dancers with hearing loss, most were from hearing families and had hearing siblings. The degree to which individuals with hearing loss feel comfortable with the hearing world appears to influence their later preference for participating in regular, as opposed to segregated, physical activities. More than half of the dancers with hearing loss who participated in this research study would like to meet with the deaf minority. One of the main reasons for this is to get to know new people and to share experiences with those who have the same problems with hearing. Conclusion: The present study emphasizes the need for the additional support and promotion of the accessibility to their chosen physical activities for individuals with hearing loss. This will be best accomplished if both the deaf and hearing communities work together.

“…A prerequisite for success in rehabilitation work in the area of the controlled physical activities is successful management in the process of motor learning. In disability children is from this point of view very important physiotherapists competences of stimulation, activation, communication [6,7].…”

Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to analyse anthropometric indicators, e.g. quiescent heart rate, quiescent respiratory rate and heart rate burden, in children with mental, hearing, visual disabilities participated in intervention programs of controlled physical activities. Material and methods: 180 children: 90 males, 90 females, aged 8-15 years, were divided in experimental and control samples according researched disabilities. Intervention method was realised in 10 months period. 3 times in 10 months of intervention program was provided an investigation, followed by data analysis. Relations of dependent variables to probands' sex, to experiment and its exact phases were evaluated using repeated measures ANOVA, software Statgraphics Centurion. Results: A tendency for a decrease in quiescent heart rate and quiescent respiratory rate was found among both boys and girls from all experimental groups, whereas for the controls this value either stayed at baseline level or even increased. In the case of heart rate burden, the values significantly decreased for the experimental groups and increased for the control group members. Conclusions: The presented evaluation of the positive changes shows that the hypothesis has been verified in all three aspects. Significant positive changes were approved in the monitored indicators through the intervention programs of controlled physical activities in children with mental, hearing or visual disabilities. The results verified the specific prevention and treatment benefits of controlled physical activities in the child disability context in the important age period of 8-15 years.Key words: physical development in childhood, disability child, motor learning, control movement, anthropometric data Streszczenie Cel badań: Celem niniejszego badania było przeanalizowanie wskaźników antropometrycznych, np. tętna spoczynkowego, spoczynkowej częstości oddechów i obciążenia tętna u dzieci niepełnosprawnych umysłowo, dzieci z upośledze-niem wzroku i dzieci z upośledzeniem słuchu, które uczestniczyły w programach interwencyjnych, podejmując kontrolowaną aktywność fizyczną. Materiały i metody: Uczestnicy badań: 180 dzieci -90 chłopców i 90 dziewczynek w wieku 8-15 lat -zostali podzieleni na grupy badane i grupy kontrolne zgodnie z badanymi niepełnosprawnościami. Metoda interwencyjna była realizowana w ciągu 10 miesięcy. Badania wraz z analizą danych prowadzono trzykrotnie podczas 10 miesięcy trwania programu interwencyjnego. Związki zależnych zmiennych z płcią probantów, z eksperymentem i jego dokładnymi etapami zostały ocenione z użyciem środków ANOVA i oprogramowania Statgraphics Centurion. Wyniki: Zaobserwowano tendencję spadkową w przypadku tętna spoczynkowego i spoczynkowej częstości oddechów wśród chłopców i dziewczynek ze wszystkich grup badanych, podczas gdy w przypadku grup kontrolnych niniejsza wartość pozostała na poziomie wyjściowym lub nawet wzrosła. Jeśli chodzi o obciążenie tętna, wartości znacznie spadły w przypadku grup badanych, a wzrosły w przypadku grup...

“…A día de hoy las aplicaciones tecnológicas en las salidas que permiten la práctica inclusiva van más allá de estudiar las diferencias en el rendimiento entre los que tienen discapacidad y los que no; además, buscan el desarrollo de sistemas que permitan una práctica deportiva que responda a las necesidades del deportista con discapacidad auditiva, sin que el propio contexto deportivo influya negativamente en su rendimiento cuando compite con otros sin discapacidad (Kurková, Válková y Scheetz, 2011;Pérez-Tejero et al, 2011;.…”

“…El desarrollo del indicado sistema luminoso (utilizado ya en otros deportes de manera convencional como la natación) permitiría, creemos, que los atletas con discapacidad auditiva obtuvieran mejores marcas en las competiciones oficiales usando dichos sistemas. Además, aquellos deportistas sordos que compiten con atletas sin discapacidad, lo harían en unas condiciones más justas y equitativas (Kurková et al, 2011), pudiendo fomentar así situaciones deportivas y competitivas inclusivas (Pérez Tejero et al, 2013).…”
