“…In addition, runners with an intellectual disability seem to experience difficulties in selfregulating their pace when asked to maintain a constant submaximal velocity (18), with a tendency to accelerate. Based on the results, it appears that elite runners with an intellectual disability experience difficulty in efficiently self-regulating their exercise intensity, and their cognitive resources may constrain the successful integration of appropriate pacing strategies during competitive races (1,20). Participants with intellectual impairment have reduced higher order cognitive skills (3), and known to have deficits in a range of other complex higher-order skills relevant to pacing (e.g.…”

“…Tactical, technical and physical skills in elite sport performance are affected in athletes with intellectual disabilities (2,20), including reaction time and visuospatial skills. This is the case in open, cognitively demanding sports, such as table-tennis, but also in low "cognitive load" sports performed in a relatively stable environment, such as the closed sports of running or swimming, where pacing is one of the main performance determinants.…”

Activity pacing is a practical means of supporting selfregulation in physical activity. This could be achieved through lifestyle support or in specific practical sport or physical activity situations, depending on the population. Improving the development of self-regulatory, life style exercise skills across broad population groups could be helpful in addressing deficiencies in physical activity levels, which, in turn, can be associated with additional physical or mental health problems.

“…Thus, it is questionable using EFs to describe the cognitive skills of athletes. Nevertheless, it is established that athletes should have superior cognitive skills [ 3 ], and impairments could significantly influence their performance in sports [ 14 ]. In contact sports (i.e., ice hockey or football), EFs could be a predictor of having a concussion [ 15 ].…”

Cognitive diagnostics, especially the measurement of executive functions (EFs) in the context of sports and talent diagnostics, is a popular research topic. However, research is lacking on how self-reports are sufficient to examine the EFs of youth athletes for performance diagnostics. Thus, the current study aims to evaluate the relationships between neuropsychological tasks (3-back task, cued Go/NoGo task, flanker task, and number-letter task) and a self-report for examining EFs (BRIEF-SB). Furthermore, it should be investigated whether it is possible to predict the outcome of EF tasks using a self-report inventory. Therefore, 68 young professional soccer players (Mage = 14.26 ± 1.35 years) from a national youth academy were included in the study. The weak-to-moderate correlations (r = 0.000, p = 0.999 to r = −0.442, p < 0.01) and the results of sensitivity analysis (0.125 to 0.538) do not support using a self-report of EFs for cognitive performance diagnostics. The inventory is only suitable for identifying executive dysfunctions in athletes recovering from head injuries or concussions.

“…Как отмечают авторы, дети с умственной отсталостью, помимо сопутствующих нарушений психических, познавательных процессов [3][4][5][6] и речи, имеют также отклонения в физическом развитии [3; 5; 7; 8], что проявляется в отставании в длине (росте) и массе тела, ожирении; окружности грудной клетки и низких показателях жизненной ёмкости легких, в мышечной слабости [9], асимметричном развитии мышц [10], нарушении осанки [11], деформации стопы, что в свою очередь вместе с нарушением координации [11][12][13] способствует динамическим нарушения, в частности при освоении основных локомоций…”

В статье рассматриваются вопросы физического развития здоровых детей в возрасте 12-13 лет и детей с умственной отсталостью легкой степени (F-70), которые занимаются спортом и не посещающие секции. Приводится анализ влияния спортивных занятий на примере специализации лыжных гонок (гонки на 3 и 5 км) и легкой атлетики (бег на средние дистанции) на развитие детей, состояние жирового и мышечного компонентов тела и взаимозависимость данных показателей от физической активности. Приводятся данные измерения длины тела, веса, обхватов тела и измерения с помощью калипера, которые по формулам переводятся в количественные показателя. Значения соотносятся с индексом массы тела, и определяется зависимость показателей. По результатам исследования выявлено статистически значимое увеличение индекса массы тела, толщины жировой складки, процентного соотношения жирового компонента в организме и уменьшение мышечной массы детей с умственной отсталостью, которые не занимаются спортом. При этом данные детей с нарушением интеллекта, которые занимаются спортом, также имели статистически значимые различия с данными здоровых спортсменов. Так, умственная отсталость, даже при регулярных физических тренировках, снижает уровень и качество физического развития детей. Ключевые слова: умственная отсталость, физическое развитие, антропометрия, спорт инвалидов, лыжные гонки, легкая атлетика.
