The study purpose. Currently, the study was to get the pattern of jumping movement skills for mentally retarded children using D-Mat. It is as part of technology advanced to support physical activity and sport. While mentally retarded children have different ways to jump with normal children. Materials and methods. The method used qualitative research using observational design. Participants are mentally retarded children aged 6-11 years who are divided into two groups, namely ages 6-8 years and ages 9-11 years. The data were collected through a process of observation and video recording. While the validation of the jumping movement test used observational and test-rater from 2 experts for the needs of mentally retarded children. Data analysis techniques used the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significant level of p <0.05 and descriptive statistics. Results. The findings concluded that the jumping movement pattern of mentally retarded children aged 6-11 years is forward jumping movement. They are easy to do it using D-Mat. This movement model is quite stable and easy to master. Conclusions. Each component of the movement also shows fairly good stability according to the characteristics and needs of each child.
The goal of this research is to examine the effect of jumping and hopping training models using digital mattress for intellectually disabled children. This research was conducted at SLBN Pembina Palembang (Indonesia). The sample in this study consisted of 60 intellectually disabled children. The method used is quasi-experimental research, quantitative data analysis technique, and the design of this research is pretest-posttest control group design. The instrument used in this research is the jump and hop test. The significant test to see the effectiveness of this model is the t-test, and the value of t = 3.827 and the value of Sig.(2-tailed) or p-value = 0.000 < 0.05. This means that Ho is declined or there is a difference between the jump and hop training model using a digital mattress and the conventional training model. In brief, the jump and hop training model using a digital mattress is more effective than the conventional training model for intellectually disabled children. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that: the results of exercise with digital mattress are proven to be effective in developing the basic movement skills of jumping and hopping for intellectually disabled children compared to conventional training models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
