Impact Of Physical Activity On The Quality Of Balance Of Secondary School Students Survey Conducted On Pupils Under 18 (deaf-mutes/ Normal) Practicing Physical Activity

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effect of adapted physical activity on improving balance in deaf-mutes, by identifying statistical differences and determining the correlations in balance measurement between the research sample (deaf- mute) practicing an adapted physical activity and normal people practicing their weekly session. Thirty-seven students participated in this study. Divided into: a deaf-mute group rated "G sm" (n = 18, age =16.22± 1.43, weight = 54.44± 11.56, height =169.55 cm ± 9.94), and a normal group rated "Gn" (n = 19, age = 15.94 ± 1.34, weight = 54.05 ± 7.50, height = 160.21 cm ± 9.62). We also adopted the static balance tests while standing on the toes of vertically and horizontally, in addition to dynamic balance tests adapted from Bass and the jump over marks test. The research results confirm that there are statistically significant differences and direct correlations in the measurement tests for dynamic balance and the static balance test between Gsm and Gn. In agreement with other studies, the present study focuses on encouraging the practice of a sports activity adapted for people with disabilities (deaf-mutes), emphasizing the development of balance Static and dynamic. during growth
