“…Physical benefits include increased coordination, strength, endurance and motor abilities, flexibility; dance fosters communication skills, reduces social anxiety (Reinders, Bryden & Fletcher, 2015). Another study affirms that introducing dance lessons is crucial to their development -it results in decreased anxiety in social settings, improved quality of life, increased independence and confidence and improved communication skills (Albin, 2016). Psychological benefits are about increased self -esteem, confidence, body awareness and capacity to remember dance moves (Reinders, Bryden & Fletcher, 2015).…”

“…Down's Syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with developmental delays -in motor skills, intellectual skills, speaking problems; it raises problems for posture and mobility (Albin, 2016). It is the most frequent genetic condition that causes intellectual limitations, it is associated with very important limitations in thinking and physical functioning (de Farias & Teixeira-Machado, 2016)…”

Dance and movement therapy is about the creative use of movement and dancing in a therapeutic alliance. The present study analysis semi-structured interviews from people connected to young people with Down’s syndrome. Our subjects practiced dances like ballet, zumba, vals, tango and also therapeutic movement. Some of them proved their skills in events specially organized for people with disabilities, but also in inclusive events, where they danced together with professional dancers, in Romania, Republic of Moldavia and Italy. The effects of dancing include increased self- esteem, relaxation, social inclusion, improved learning skills; they also developed social skills, because they met a lot of people in different social contexts.

“…Moreover, the development of motor skills in children with DS is similar to the growing pattern of healthy children; however, it is slow and delayed [3]. Moreover, children with DS often indicate weakness in muscular strength, muscular endurance, the development of motor skills, disorders in controlling posture, and gait cycle [4]. Balance problems and postural stability prevent people with DS from exercises and movements in their daily living; therefore, it is necessary to provide movement programs in a happy and enjoyable environment to enhance their willingness to participate in such programs and improving their motor skills.…”

People who have Down Syndrome (DS) usually have deficiencies in muscular strength, muscular endurance, the development of motor skills, postural control, and gait cycle. These muscular and balance deficits impair daily living activities in people with DS; therefore, attention to improving these factors in various recreational environments seems necessary. Thus, the present study aimed to compare two methods of suspended and non-suspended core stability exercises (Total Resistance exercises (TRX) and Swiss ball) on balance and muscular endurance in males with DS. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest and a control group design. The statistical sample of the study included 54 males aged 18-27 years with DS. Moreover, the samples were purposefully selected based on the study inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into three groups (each group: 18 individuals). Stork test, Y Balance Test (YBT), and core stabilizer muscle endurance tests were used to evaluate static balance, dynamic balance, and muscular endurance, respectively. After measuring the pretest, the first and second groups and the control group continued core stability exercises with Swiss ball, core stability exercises with TRX, and their daily routine life activities for 8 weeks, respectively. Eventually, the posttest was performed after the completion of the trial. Results: The obtained results suggested that the core stability training groups with Swiss ball and TRX had a significant increase in the posttest scores of static balance, dynamic balance, and muscular endurance, compared to the control group. Post-hoc test results also illustrated that the mentioned difference was between both training groups and the training groups with the control group; therefore, in the variable of static balance, the core stability training group with Swiss ball demonstrated a more considerable increase than the core stability training group with TRX. However, in the variables of dynamic balance and muscular endurance, the core stability training group with TRX revealed more increase. Conclusion: This study indicated that the core stability exercises with Swiss ball improved static balance, dynamic balance, and muscular endurance in males with DS. Thus, such exercises can be used in a different enjoying environment to develop some fitness indicators in this group.

“…További kutatásokból és tanulmányokból az is kiderül, hogy a mozgás és a tánc milyen fejlesztési lehetőségeket rejt magában a fogyatékossággal élő gyermekeket tekintve (Matzner, 2015;Gonzalez, 2015;Albin, 2016;Barthel, Fodorné, Rácz, & Bognár, 2009). A témához kapcsolódóan találunk még nem fogyatékosságspecifikus szakirodalmat is, különös tekintettel a kognitív területek fejlődésére (Barhorst, 2013;Balgaonkar, 2010) vagy az érzelmi/mentális jóllétre (Hervey, & Kornblum, 2006;Somerstein, 2010).…”

Mozgás és testtudat – egy módszer tükrében

Mozgás és testtudategy módszer tükrében"Könnyen lehet, hogy a tánc mindenekelőtt a kitérők nélküli, közvetlen kommunikációt kísérli meg. Hiszen hordozója és közvetítő közege maga az ember, kifejezésének eszköze pedig az emberi test, melynek természetes mozdulatai szolgálnak a tánc anyagául, ami az egyedüli anyag, mely az ember sajátja és sajátjaként is használhatja." (Mary Wigman)A jelen tanulmány egy hazai mozgás-és táncterápiás módszer, a pszichodinamikus mozgás-és táncterápia bemutatását tűzi ki célul, annak munkamódjain és fontosabb kapcsolódó fogalmain (test, mozgás, interszubjektivitás) keresztül. Ezt a testélményalapú, nonverbális módszert elsősorban csoportterápiára használják. Egyszerre vannak jelen benne az egyén és a csoport dinamikai jellemzői és összefüggései. BevezetésA jelen írásban univerzális fogalomhasználatra törekszem, középpontjában az emberi tapasztalatszerzés áll; mindazonáltal kitérek a mozgás-és táncterápiás folyamatok különböző csoportokban történő megvalósulási sajátosságaira is. Jóllehet a Fogyatékosság és társadalom c. folyóirat hasábjaira írom soraimat, mégis azt gondolom, hogy a testről és a testi tapasztalatokról, a mozgásról, a térről vagy az interszubjektivitásról írni tágabb perspektívából érdemes. Nem fogyatékosságspecifikus fogalmak ezek, sokkal inkább emberi minőségünk dimenzióinak és tapasztalatainak tükrében járhatóak körbe.
