“…Even if the level of coordination seemed to be slightly less developed among Ds participants and CDs participants, adolescents who did not practice physical activity showed even lower scores of sensorimotor coordination. This result not only demonstrated the benefits of practicing physical activity for motor skills, as suggested in other studies (Dodge and Lambert, 2009;Walters et al, 2009;Mangerud et al, 2014;Mosoi and Balint, 2015), but also highlighted that not practicing physical activity may restrict the level of sensorimotor coordination in adolescents period (Quatman-Yates et al, 2012). These results are once again consistent with the risks for adolescents who do not practice physical activity found in previous studies (Burnett-Zeigler et al, 2012;Eime et al, 2013).…”

“…To assess sensorimotor coordination, we used SMK (short form S1), from Vienna Test Systems Sport of the research Institute of Transilvania University in Braşov. This test is a computerized task using a joystick and was applied to measure the motor control ability (Mosoi and Balint, 2015) by utilizing the feedback in real time of sensorimotor information from the movement currently being executed by the adolescents. With this test, the task was to use a synchronous joystick to maneuver a circular yellow segment that is drawn as a piece of pizza into a required position with a tip touching a bar upright in the upside "T" position.…”

Influence of Organized vs Non Organized Physical Activity on School Adaptation Behavior

It is now well-established that physical activity has positive effects on both physical and mental health. However, the influence of organized physical activity (i.e., programs controlled and supervised by a trainer) on school adaptive behavior of adolescents with disabilities and/or behavioral disorders remains unclear. School behavior adaptation involves the ability to learn, conform to school norms and manage school activities without major behavior conflicts. A cross-sectional study was conducted to test the differences between organized physical activity and non-organized physical activity in an after school program. Eighty Romanian adolescents were recruited and allocated to three groups: (a) with disabilities [Ds; N = 17, Mage = 14.55 years (SD = 1.16), 12 males and 5 females], (b) with conduct disorders [CDs, N = 21, Mage = 14.52 years (SD = 1.11) 16 males and 5 females], and (c) participants who had not shown signs of conduct disorders or disabilities [as a control group; N = 42, Mage = 14.2 years (SD = 0.46) 20 males and 22 females]. Personality traits, school behavior, and sensorimotor coordination were assessed by using the Eysenck personality questionnaire—junior scale, school in-adaptability questionnaire scale, and Vienna Test System Sport (SMK—sensorimotor coordination test) respectively. Multivariate analysis of variance MANOVA (3 × 3) and discriminant analysis were used to examine differences between the psychological and sensorimotor coordination outcomes across three groups and three types of physical activity context: (a) organized physical activity, (b) non-organized physical activity, and (c) no physical activity. The findings indicate that not participating in an organized physical activity program results in a reduced level of physical mobility and consequently is associated with maladaptive social and psychological outcomes. Thus, we argued that attending in an organized physical activity program is more beneficial for participants with disabilities and/or behavior disorders, due to an increase in the probability of school integration and development of their motor skills. Clearly more research is needed in order to investigate these effects in neurophysiological levels.

“…teenage boys admit their bad behaviour and that it is unacceptable in their societies. Parallel to this, in a study carried out by Alexandru and Lorand (2015), the researchers found that adolescents with CDs have less chance to merge with their communities compared to their peers without CDs. In another study conducted by Nordström et al (2013) the researchers conclude that teenagers reflect intense CD symptoms when they also have intense Disruptive Behavioural Disorders (DBDs).…”

Indicators of Conduct Disorders Among Adolescents in Saudi Arabia

This study aims to explore and explain the degree of CDs' indicators among adolescents in school, society, and the home; and also the differences in these indicators based on the boys' age, school class, and parental status. This involves interpreting qualitatively the quantitative outcomes. Mixed methodology was used to answer the research questions. A sample of 1,245 students from five intermediate schools in Taif, Saudi Arabia was selected randomly by using cluster sampling. A structural questionnaire was administered on these students. Then, a semi-structured interview was developed and applied on a non-random sample of 15 students. The outcomes show that CDs' indicators are higher in society compared with the indicators at home and in schools. The results also show that the adolescents' age (from 13 to less than 14, and from 15 to less than 16), in the third year in intermediate school, and whose parents are either separated or are both dead, represent the highest means in CDs' indicators. All the interviewed boys discussed their aversion to school, their community, and home, as well as their beliefs about others' bad opinions of them. The current data provides a strong hint that there are high degrees of CDs' indicators among Saudi teenagers, and there are differences in these indicators in school, society, and at home (and also differences based on the boys' ages, school class, and parental status), which would contribute to more understanding of adolescent psychological disorders in general and specifically in teenagers with CD in Saudi Arabia.
