Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-6 (December 1985) . - p.767-774 Titre : Physical capacities of sightless adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mary LEE, Auteur ; Graham WARD, Auteur ; Roy J. SHEPHARD, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.767-774 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Nineteen sightless children and adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years were tested for physical condition and performance. Their residential school provided four adapted physical education lessons a week, lasting for 45 minutes. Their physical condition and performance was found to be comparable with that of normal sighted children. A supplementary training programme consisting of three extra 60-minute sessions a week for four months to test whether their fitness could be developed further produced only minor changes. It is concluded that a well-designed, adapted physical education programme, in four sessions per week, is sufficient to ensure a normal level of physical condition for sightless children.
