本研究主要目的在探討跳繩運動訓練對智能障礙學生健康體適能影響,以9名台中市立中山國中13-15歲為對象,以隨機取樣方式,分成實驗組6名與對照組3名。實驗組進行十二週跳繩運動訓練,每週二天、每次45分鐘,運動強度為運動自覺量表(RPE) 輕鬆(11)至累(15)之間,而對照組進行一般正常活動。訓練前、後均施以健康體適能測驗,將測驗所得資料以相依樣本t檢定和共變數分析進行統計分析,所獲結果如下:(一)以相依樣本t檢定分析二組前、後差異,結果發現實驗組在肌耐力、柔軟度、心肺耐力達顯著差異(p<.05)。(二)二組經共變數分析比較,結果顯示實驗組在肌耐力、柔軟度、心肺耐力均有顯著進步(p<.05)。本研究結論:十二週跳繩運動訓練對於智能障礙學生在肌耐力、柔軟度及心肺耐力有顯著改善效果。
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of rope jumping training on the health related physical fitness of mental retardation students. The 9 13-15 year-old students with Mental Retardation from the Special Education Section of Chung-Shan Junior High School examined, divided into experimental and control groups of 6 and 3 members using and random assignment respectively. The experimental group was given the 45 minute rope jumping training, twice a week, for 12 weeks, with exercise intensity estimated by using the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) ranged from easy (11) to tired (15). On the other hand, the control group kept the regular activities. All participants were requested to examine their health related physical fitness before and after training. The analysis is conducted by dependent samples t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The important results of the study are summarized as-follows: (A) Dependent samples t-test is used to analyze the difference in the two groups between pre-and post-training. There is a significant difference in muscular endurance, flexibility and cardiopulmonary endurance in the experimental group analyzed with ANCOVA (p<.05). (B) There are significant differences in muscular endurance, flexibility and cardiopulmonary endurance in both groups (p<.05). This study suggests that the rope jumping training for 12 weeks has a great improvement in the flexibility and aerobic capacity of Intellectual mental retardation students.
