요가운동 프로그램이 정신지체중학생의 운동능력에 미치는 효과 = The Effects of Yoga Program on the Motor Ability of Middle School Students with Mental Retardation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to apply a Yoga program to middle school students with mental retardation in an attempt to help improve their motor ability, motor skills and workout performance to give them confidence, a sense of achievement and satisfaction so that they could get used to physical movements.

The subjects in this study were three selected students who were enrolled in a special class of B girls' middle school in the city of Andong, north Gyeongsang province. One-group multiple probe design was employed to identify how a Yoga program, an independent variable, affected the motor ability of the students, a dependent variable.

The findings of the study were as follows:
First, the Yoga program had a positive effect on the general and positive coordination, motor speed and simultaneous spontaneous motion of the mentally retarded students, especially of the girls. All the students had a poor motor ability before they got Yoga exercise, but as the experiment proceeded, all of them made progress in motor ability, though there was some individual gap. This finding indicated that Yoga had something to do with motor ability.
Second, Yoga workout made their stiff bodies more flexible, lightened them up and improved their attention. Also, that contributed to boosting their emotional security, which implied that it was effective in elevating the motor ability of the students.

The findings of the study suggested that the Yoga program had a great effect on enhancing the motor ability of the mentally retarded middle school students, though there might be some disparity among them according to their characteristics and ability.

Based on the above-mentioned findings, there are some suggestions about future research efforts and how mentally retarded middles school students should be educated at special schools and regular school special classes.
First, just a small number of students were examined in this study, and a larger number of subjects should be selected to verify the effect of the program.
Second, as the experiment catered to the special class of regular middle school, the findings of the study might not be generalizable. Multiple-level Yoga programs should be developed in the future.
Third, teachers should get training to educate Yoga in a more systematic way in light of the disability and academic characteristics of disabled students.
