Özet

Bu araştırma, ailelerinden alınan bilgiler doğrultusunda zihinsel engelli çocukların fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini yaş ve cinsiyet özelliklerine göre incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya 32 kız, 45 erkek olmak üzere toplam 77 zihinsel engelli çocuk ailesi katılmıştır. Çalışmada "Çocuklar için Fiziksel Aktivite Formu" ve demografik özellikleri belirlemeye yönelik araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, gerek çocukların gerekse ailelerin fiziksel aktiviteye katılım düzeylerinin düşük, ailelerin çocuklarının fiziksel aktiviteye katılım tutum puanlarının yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<.05). Kız çocuklarının spor kulüplerine katılım oranlarının ve ailelerinin tutum puanlarının erkek çocukları ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Her iki cinsiyet grubunda da yaş açısından fiziksel aktivite durumlarında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>.05). Çocukların fiziksel aktivite olanaklarının artırılması ile ilgili olarak okullara, ailelere ve diğer kurumlara yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
