Abstract:
Introduction
In many cases, social conditions are such that reduce mobility opportunities, particularly the opportunity of successful running experiences for blind children. As a result of this issue, self-efficacy is reduced in blind children regarding running that is a necessary activity for childrens motor, physical, and psychological development. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess the impact of facilitating running for blind children on their self-efficacy regarding running.Materials And Methods
This quasi-experimental study was conducted on blind children from an elementary school for visually impaired children in Isfahan Province, Iran. The experimental group included 8 children (2 girls and 6 boys) with mean age of 9.5 ± 1.6 years and the control group included 10 children (3 girls and 7 boys) with mean age of 10.3 ± 1.6 years. Facilitation of running in this research was implemented using an interface belt for group running of blind individuals. The exercise program consisted of 3 45-minute sessions per week and lasted for 6 weeks. Running self-efficacy was measured before and after the intervention using the Running Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Blind Children in the form of interviews. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. All P values of less than or equal to 0.05 were considered significant.Results
The results showed significant interaction between running distance self-efficacy (F(1, 16) = 6.35) (P = 0.02) and running skill self-efficacy (F(1, 16) = 14.19) (P Conclusion
Significant improvement in self-efficacy of the experimental group could be linked to the strengthening of self-efficacy resources as a result of running training in facilitated conditions. Findings suggest that not only is running training possible for blind children, but it also has optimal effects on the improvement of their running self-efficacy.Keywords:
