The Effect of a Ten-Day Exercise Program on the Static Balance Performance of Adults with Mental Retardation

文目的在調查接受10天運動計畫後，是否能改善年紀25-46歲智能障礙人們的靜態站立平衡之表現。測試方法是測量以較喜歡的腳單腳站立平衡時間，比較運動前及運動後之差別。16位年紀25-46歲智能障礙人們，參與此研究，並隨意平均分配成兩組：對照組（無運動過程），及實驗組（有運動過程）。結果顯示兩組在改善靜態站立平衡上，並無統計上明顯之差別。而實驗組在經過10天運動計畫後，其一腳站立時間有比較長，但是並未達統計上之意義。將來之研究方向，可探討運動計畫中質或量之各種變異數，以求改善其靜態平衡之表現。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 10-day exercise program upon static standing balance performance of people with mental retardation, aged 25-46. Static standing balance, measured as the one-legged stance time with the preferred leg, was compared before and after training to determine if there is any significant change in static standing balance performance occurred due to the 10-day exercise program. Sixteen subjects were randomly and evenly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Subjects in the experimental group were exposed to a 10-day static standing balance exercise program, while the control group only participated in normal classroom activities without special emphasis on balance activities. A Two-Factor Repeated Measures ANOVA was selected for the study. Results showed that the changes in the preferred-leg one-legged stance time after training between the control and experimental groups were not significantly different. Although the one-legged stance time of the experimental group increased, the increase was not statistically significant at the .05 level of confidence. The lack of significant improvement in static standing balance ability after the use of this widely accepted therapeutic program serves to stress the need for further investigation of the effects of any exercise program on static standing balance ability.
