Effect of selected physical exercises on various motor ability and physiological variables of deaf and dumb children

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of selected physical exercises training program on various motor ability and physiological variables on deaf and dumb children. Sixty deaf and dumb children (11-18 years) were randomly chosen from Sri Sachha Muk and Bhadir Educational Insititute, Bahdurgarh, Haryana. The children were randomly selected into two groups: experimental group (N = 30) and control group (N = 30). The experimental group was selected for the physical exercises training program for twelve weeks for five day a week and the control group continued their regular school activity. In this study, to compare the difference between the pre and post test of various motor ability and physiological variables paired t test was used for comparing the data, level of significance was set at and#8804; 0.05. A significant difference was found between pre and post test results in motor ability and physiological variables in the experimental group. However, in the control group no significant difference between the pre-and post test on various motor ability and physiological variables was observed. The results of the present study supported the fact that physical exercises training program brings significant improvements in various motor ability and physiological variables of deaf and dumb children. Moreover, the present study will be helpful in establishing the cardinal principles for Coaches and Physical Education Teachers and Others who work with special students in relation to the formation of Physical Exercises Curriculum and also Standardized Norms also in future for their overall personality. newline
