Abstract

There
is a need to develop appropriate opportunities for people with disabilities
throughout their life course. The provision of access for people with
disabilities to quality physical activity and sporting opportunities must be
addressed on an equal basis with those of their non-disabled peers. The aim of
this study was to disabled children and Adolescents recreational physical
activity, frequency of physical activity, examine the benefits of physical
activity and the participation in recreational physical activity to create more
active people with recommendations for physical activity. A high level overview
of the reviews of published literature. A systematic search of Web of Science,
Medline, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus, Physical Education Index was employed to find
all relevant studies focusing on human participants. Search terms included
“Recreational Activities ”, “Children with Disabilities ”, " Prevalence of
Physical Activity "and “Benefits of Recreational Physical Activity ”. The
benefits of physical activity are universal for all children, including those
with disabilities. Participation of children with disabilities in sports and
recreational activities encourages inclusion, minimizes conditioning, optimizes
physical function and improves overall well-being. Despite these benefits,
children with disabilities are more limited in attendance, have lower fitness
levels, and have higher levels of obesity than those without disabilities. The
importance of sport and physical activity must be underlined by strategic
action at national, regional and local level. Social commitment and an
appreciation of the benefits to society of diversity is promoted and fuelled by
clear national policy and frameworks and co-ordinated strategic planning.
Increasing physical activity in children with disabilities is very complex and
demands further development and research.

Engelliler İçin Rekreasyon Aktiviteleri: Okul Çağı Çocukları ve Adölesanlar

Abstract

Yaşamları boyunca engelliler için uygun fırsatlar
geliştirmeye ihtiyaç vardır. Engellilerin kaliteli fiziksel aktiviteye ve spor
olanaklarına erişiminin sağlanması, engelli olmayan akranlarıyla eşit şekilde
ele alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı engelli çocuklara ve adölesanlara rekreasyonel fiziksel aktivite, fiziksel aktivite sıklığı, fiziksel aktivitenin
yararlarını ve fiziksel aktivite için önerileri olan daha aktif insanlar
oluşturmak için rekreasyonel fiziksel aktiviteye katılımını incelemektir.
Yayınlanan literatürler yüksek düzeyde gözden geçirilmiştir. İnsan
katılımcılarüzerine odaklanan tüm ilgili çalışmaları bulmak için Web of
Science, Medline, PubMed ve SPORTDiscus, Beden Eğitimi İndeksi ile ilgili
sistematik bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Arama terimleri “Rekreasyon
Faaliyetleri”, “Engelli Çocuklar”, “Fiziksel Aktivitenin Yaygınlığı” ve
“Rekreasyonel Fiziksel Aktivitenin Yararları” nı içermiştir. Fiziksel
aktivitenin yararları, engelli olanlar dahil, tüm çocuklar için evrenseldir.
Engelli çocukların spor ve rekreasyonel etkinliklere katılımı dahil edilmeyi
teşvik eder, koşullandırmayı en aza indirir, fiziksel işlevi optimize eder ve
genel refahı arttırır. Bu faydalara rağmen, engelli çocuklar katılımda daha
sınırlıdır, uygunluk seviyelerine sahip değildir ve engelli olmayanlara göre
daha yüksek obezite seviyelerine sahiptir. Sporun ve fiziksel aktivitenin
önemi, ulusal, bölgesel ve yerel düzeyde stratejik eylemle vurgulanmalıdır.
Sosyal taahhüt ve çeşitlilik toplum için faydalarının takdir edilmesi, açık
ulusal politika çerçevesinde koordineli stratejik planlama ile teşvik edilmekte
ve desteklenmektedir. Engelli çocuklarda fiziksel aktivitenin arttırılması çok
karmaşıktır ve daha fazla gelişme ve araştırma gerektirir.
