An Investigating of the Effect of Rehabilitation Program Based on Spark Motor Method on Motor Skills and Emotional Intelligence in Students with Visual Impairment in Isfahan
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rehabilitation program based on Spark motor method on the motor skills and emotional intelligence of students with visual impairment in Isfahan in 2020.
In this quasi-experimental study, which was performed as a pretest-posttest with a control group, 30 students with visual impairment in Isfahan (mean age 12.17 years) were selected by using available sampling method. Then randomly divided into two groups of experimental (n=15) and control (n=15). The rehabilitation program based on physical activity (Spark movement method) was performed for eight weeks, three sessions per week and 60 minutes each session for the experimental group. The control group did not receive any exercise during this period. At the beginning and the end of the rehabilitation program, motor indexes and emotional intelligence skills in both groups were evaluated using the standard emotional intelligence shot questionnaire (Shot et al. 1998) and Bruninks-Oseretsky test of motor proficiency (1972) in similar conditions. Data were analyzed using covariance and multivariate covariance analyses.
The results showed that physical activity-based rehabilitation programs had a significant effect on motor skills indices in students with visual impairment in Isfahan (P≤0.05). Also the effect of exercise program on emotional intelligence was significant (P≤0.05).
The research findings indicated that physical activity-based rehabilitation programs are effective on motor skills and emotional intelligence indices in students with visual impairments. Therefore, it is recommended that visually impaired practitioners, coaches, parents, and comedians use this method to develop and improve student’s sports performance and intelligence.
