Investigation On The Present State Of The Physical Fitness And The Physical Training To The Visually Impaired Students In The Special Education School In Yangtze Delta

The investigation on children’s physical fitness and physical practice at home and abroad mostly concern on healthy people, while they pay less attentions on disabled and even less on those visually impaired students problems. Among the country’s investigation on children’s physical state, the practice on the physical condition and practice of the visually impaired students is the weak point. Therefore, choosing this subject shows the spirit of the policy which indicates that the physical practice should open to every student at school. It also tells the socialistic care for humane. Meanwhile, it provides the data and inspiration to those who want to know and improve eye-disabled students’conditions of health and the physical practice.However, the investigation uses the following methods such as doing survey, testing, documenting, statistics, analysis and comparison on the middle school students who have been visually impaired in Yangtze Delta, especially on their figure, function, physical potentiality and the present physical practice. The purpose is to provide the dependable reference for the further improvement of students’ physical conditions.Details resulted in the surveys show that:The visually impaired students are shorter than normal students and their weight are nearly the same. Their chest circumference are bigger than the later’s while their figures are shorter and fatter. And the blood-pressure (especially the contractive blood-pressure) is lower. There is no difference of the vital capacity (VC) between the visually impaired students and normal students before14years old (female),15years old (male), while it is lower than normal students when the visually impaired students grow up. The average of VC/weight index of the visually impaired students is lower than the normal students’. Those evidences show that the visually impaired students’ functions of the heart and lung are worse than normal students’. The physical quality index of the visually impaired students such as fixed long jump index is apparently lower than normal students’. The difference in boys’grips is indistinct, while12-year-old boys of the visually impaired students is interior to those normal ones. There is no obvious difference in one-minute sit-ups.Regarding to the visually impaired students’ physical practice, the investigation reveals that more than half of the P.E teachers in the special education schools are graduated from common sport school or department. Moreover, most of them have no special teaching training experience. These evidences are bound to result in the descent of the P.E teaching quality. The activities that the visually impaired students take part in or wish to participate in are fixed and limited. In schools for he visually impaired students, if the quality of physical activities of the visually impaired students is high, there will be nearly no problem in students’ graduations. Most of the students express their willingness to take part in activities in the coming years, and they think it is necessary to have RE, which will help them to master the skills of practicing sports. Participating in sports activities is to improve their health conditions. Boys differ greatly from girls in choosing the different terms of sports activities commonly; girls act more passively than boys in this field.Via investigation, I suggest the departments who responsible for physical education should attach importance to special schools’ physical education and make much of the research on the value and method of physical training. Besides, this investigation has a few specimen and is carried out by a tracking investigation way, augmentation of samples and further researches are needed. In order to fully reflect this special group’s growth and development rules.
