“…The game falls under the category of exergames, that is, technology-based physical activities that require large motions from the players, therefore it is effective in keeping VI children active while enhancing their motor skills. Bao et al (2021) also found that exergames help VI children enhance their task-and scheduling-self-efficacy, their psychological wellbeing, and quality of social opportunities among children. When implemented and evaluated at a developmental sports camp for VI children in New York in 2010, the Pet-N-Punch activity proved a highly enjoyable game among the participants (Morelli et al, 2011).…”

The spectrum of visual impairment is broad, ranging from low vision that may require glasses to total blindness. The present intervention (‘Make a Change’) is a unique synthesis of existing activities and adaptations designed to help children with visual impairments (VI) in their learning experience in mainstream schools. The program’s aim is to address and serve a diverse range of VI students’ motor, cognitive, and psychosocial needs and capacities, ranging from environmental adaptiveness, to conceptual comprehension, and peer collaboration. Activities targeted to enhance environmental adaptiveness focus on strengthening VI children’s orientation and mobility, including their ability to navigate safely through the school environment as well as to respond to emergency procedure practices successfully. Spatial awareness expands through the heightening of the other senses and via blindfold activities including auditory stimuli. Sports activities also aid VI children’s motor skills, reflexes, and confidence with health-related fitness. Conceptual understanding of quantity, quality, and physics is enriched by 3-D interventions using basic perceptual skills such as touching, tracking, and discriminating between symbols. Lastly, collaborative learning with the use of computer technology increases coordination as well as communication among students. Activities like treasure hunt and interacting with an audio-based computer program help VI children practice their collaborative problem-solving abilities, computational thinking skills, and basic programming abilities; positive outcomes include improved academic achievement and productivity, as well as social related enhancements, such as supportive and committed relationships, social competence, and the development of a sense of caring. Recommendations for teachers follow the strengths of the intervention.

“…Their review included only randomized controlled trials and pre-post studies that provided exercise intervention for adults with visual impairment and reported physical outcomes. However, there have been studies to identify quality of life, mental health, and psychosocial benefits as exercise outcomes for adults with visual impairment (Bao et al, 2021;da Silva et al, 2022;McCarthy et al, 2018). Different research designs have also been conducted to investigate the influence of exercise interventions (de Jong et al, 2021;Hackney et al, 2015).…”

Introduction: Exercise programs provide numerous health benefits, including improved physical fitness, psychosocial status, and sense of well-being. Previous research has identified a range of positive outcomes as a result of exercise for most populations; however, the current understanding of the exercise outcomes for adults from 18 to 65 years and older adults over 65 years with visual impairment is limited. Objective: The proposed scoping review aims to allow a better understanding of current exercise outcomes for adults (including older adults) with visual impairment. This protocol enhances the research quality and the transparency of the proposed scoping review. It pre-defines the objective and methods of the scoping review, including details of the criteria of inclusion and exclusion for evidence sources and the way the data will be identified, extracted, and presented. Inclusion criteria: Articles involving participants with visual impairment aged 18 and over will be the focus of the proposed scoping review. All English-language peer-reviewed studies with a focus on outcomes of exercise programs and interventions for adults with visual impairment, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs, will be considered. In order to make the result more applicable for future research and practice, studies published from 2000 to present will be included, given consideration of the changing concept and format of exercise since 2000. The exercise-related programs and interventions to be included can be delivered via any format in any geographical area. Methods: The search strategy will aim to locate all eligible published studies in the following databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL Complete, PsycInfo, AMED, and SPORTDiscus. Full text review will be undertaken of articles that meet criteria on initial review of title and abstract. Reference lists and citations of studies selected for full text review will be further reviewed to identify any additional studies that meet inclusion. Data from the selected studies will be extracted and tabulated based on the exercise and the key findings relevant to the research question. Findings from this scoping review will be presented as a summary of the data from the selected studies in a tabular form, which will categorize exercise outcomes and the corresponding exercise along with a narrative summary. Conclusion: It is expected that the results of this scoping review will enable a better understanding of exercise for adults with visual impairments and inform future exercise programs for adults with visual impairment.
