    THE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF GAME AND MOVEMENT EDUCATION ACTIVITIES ON MOTOR SKILLS OF MENTALLY RETARDED INDIVIDUALS
    (Natl Izdatelstvo Az Buki, 2014) Fazlioglu, Yesim; Kurt, Ozgur
    This study aims to analyse the effect of game and movement educations on motor skills of mentally retarded individuals. The sample of the study is composed by 32 students of Faika Erkut Special Education Primary School, Faika Erkut Special Education Elementary School and Faika Erkurt Special Education Vocational Education Center. (n(experimentgroup) = 16, n(controlgroup) = 16). The IQ level of the sample group ranges between 45 - 75 and their ages range between 17 and 18. In the research, Illionis agility test, stork balance test (eyes open) and sit-access flexibility test are used as assessment instruments. The students' flexibility, balancing and agility features are assessed twice with Illionis agility test, stork balance test (eyes open) and sit-access flexibility test; one is at the beginning of the study and one after 8-week game and movement education program. The findings of the research have been analysed using Wilcoxon test or Mann Whitney U test. At the end of the research, when pre-test and post-test averages of mentally retarded individuals in experiment and control groups were compared, it was found out that although experimental group showed a statistically significant development (p<0.05) in flexibility, balance and agility features, the individuals who did not take part in game and movement education program showed a statistically significant difference in agility feature (p<0.05).

    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL AND SLEEP QUALITY IN MOTHERS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2024) Kurt, Ozgur; Caca, Gulten; Kurt, Cem
    Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity level and sleep quality in mothers of individuals with special needs. Material and Methods: Three hundred twenty-one mothers (average age: 41.92 +/- 9.53 years) with a disabled child participated in the study from Osmangazi county of Bursa province in Turkiye. Demographic characteristics of the mothers were collected through a personal information form prepared by the researchers. The mothers' physical activity level was determined using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire -short form (IPAQ-SF). The mothers' sleep quality was determined using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The physical activity level of the disabled individuals was determined based on their mothers' statements. Results: The mean IPAQ-SF score of the mothers was found to be 1080.58 +/- 986.88 MET-min/week, and their mean PSQI score was determined to be 7.46 +/- 3.62. The disabled individuals' physical activity level was evaluated as a)15.9% (n=51) of the disabled individuals regularly participated in a sporting activity, b) 32.4% (n=104) did not participate in sports but made efforts to stay active, and c) 51.7% (n=166) were considered inactive. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that a) there was no relationship between IPAQ-SF and PSQI scores (r: -0.056, p=0.313), b) the physical activity level of individuals with special needs did not correlate with PSQI scores of the mothers (r: -0.95, p=0.089), and c) no relationship was determined between the age of individuals with special needs and mothers' sleep quality and physical activity level. Conclusion: It can be concluded that increasing the physical activity level of mothers cannot be an effective intervention to improve sleep quality in mothers of individuals with special needs. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between physical activity level and sleep quality in mothers of individuals with special needs.
