本研究的目的在探討實施健走運動對國中智能障礙學生健康體適能的影響。本研究以高雄縣立鳳山國中資源班中度(含)以下18名智能障礙學生為受試對象,以9名為實驗組、另9名為對照組。進行十週每週三次每次30分鐘每分鐘100-150步,運動後每分鐘心跳達130次以上(最大心跳率55~70%)之健走運動。實驗期間實驗組以健走運動來訓練,對照組在同ㄧ時段不做任何訓練。在健走運動介入前後所獲得之體適能測驗,均透過SPSS統計分析軟體,顯著水準α=.05。經過分析所獲得結果如下: ㄧ、實驗組經過十週的健走運動訓練後,除了柔軟度外其他四項(身體組成、肌耐力、瞬發力、心肺耐力)在前後測成績皆達到顯著差異;對照組未實施健走訓練,經過十週後體適能數值除了身體組成外其他四項皆未達顯著差異。 二、實驗組與對照組在體適能後測結果皆未達顯著差異,但實驗組之體適能數據皆優於對照組之體適能數據,顯示十週健走運動雖未讓實驗組與對照組達到顯著差異,但實驗組在健康體適能有進步的趨勢。 由研究結果,顯示十週健走運動對國中智能障礙學生身體組成、肌耐力、瞬發力、心肺耐力有部分的影響。
The aim of this study is to find out how the training of walking impacts health-related fitness of students with mental retardation at junior high school. The target group is the class of 18 students with moderate or mild mental retardation at Fongshan Junior High School in Kaohsiung County. 9 of them were assigned to be the experimental group and 9 of the rest were collected to be the control group. For 3 times a week and 10 successive weeks, the students of the experimental group had to walk from 100 to 150 steps per minute for 30 continuous minutes each time. This training was expected to make students’ heart beat for 130 times per minute (the highest pulse rate could reach 55% – 70%). The students of the control group did not do any exercise during the same period of time. The results of physical fitness examination were collected both before and after the training of walking and then analyzed with SPSS. The level of significance α has reached point 5. Below are the analyses. I.After the experimental group finished the 10-week training of walking, from the results collected before and after the training, it can be seen that 4 aspects of physical fitness, namely, body composition, muscular endurance, (muscle) power , cardiorespiratory endurance have reached the level of significance, except flexibility . The control group did not do any training or exercise and the results of its physical fitness examination collected before and after the 10-week training have not reached the level of significance except body composition. II.The results of physical fitness post-examination of the experimental group and control group have not reached the level of significance. However, it should be pointed out that the figures of the physical fitness of the experimental group were higher than the ones of the control group. It can be asserted that the 10-week training of walking can improve physical fitness of the experimental group although the results of both groups have not reached the level of significance. The findings of this study appear that, to a certain degree, the 10-week training of walking may impact the students with mental retardation at junior high school on their body composition, muscular endurance, (muscle) power and cardiorespiratory endurance .
