“…A study conducted by Leddy et al (2018) concluded that exercise intolerance during the BCTT is an important indicator for predicting time to recovery from concussion and return to play. The test consists of a Although modifications of treadmill testing might be needed for athletes who are visually impaired, it is feasible, since a treadmill with additional tactile modifications can be used effectively as a tool for exercise by individuals who are visually impaired (Lieberman et al, 2019). The Buffalo Concussion Bike Test is another graded exertion test for assessing exercise tolerance after concussion.…”

“…For example, preteaching is one of the useful instructional strategies for providing students with VI with sufficient opportunities to increase their PA engagement during actual PE classes. Preteaching may include tactile maps, orientation, and mobility practice and actual instruction in and practice of foundational concepts and skills [69]. Moreover, equipping qualified PE teachers with a background or previous experience in providing accommodations or modifications to students with VI is crucial for increasing the MVPA levels of students in structured PA programs at schools.…”

Schools provide opportunities for children with visual impairments (VI) to accumulate recommended daily moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA). This study aimed to determine physical activity (PA) across the school day among special school children with VI in China. The study objectively measured the MVPA levels of children with VI during the recess, lunchtime, physical education (PE) classes, before-school, and after-school periods segments on PE days and non-PE days. Moreover, this research compared the gender, age, and body mass index (BMI) differences in MVPA during each segment. A total of 70 children with VI aged 7–17 years (mean age = 13.7; SD = 3.4) from the special school participated in this study. Accelerometers were utilized to measure the MVPA of children with VI. The participants with VI accumulated significantly more MVPA time on PE days than on non-PE days. Before-school periods and structured PE classes showed higher percentages of MVPA time than recess, lunch break, and after-school periods during the school day. Children with VI aged 7–12 years old were significantly more physically active than those aged 13–17 years old during recess, lunch break, and after-school periods. In conclusion, PA interventions during structured PE classes are recommended. Special attention should be provided to children with VI as they grow up to increase their MVPA.

“…Prior to the practice trial, all participants were provided with a visual demonstration of how to perform the horizontal jump. However, if it was clear that a participant required additional clarification on how to perform the horizontal jump immediately after their singular practice trial (as visual acuity could have be a limiting factor for the provided visual demonstration), appropriate, approved modeling techniques were utilized (e.g., tactile modeling) [ 29 , 50 ] to help ensure that horizontal jump performance was due to motor competence and not (for example) a lack of cognitive or visual understanding of the task. No visual demonstrations and/or modeling techniques were utilized following either of the official/scored trials.…”

Muscular fitness, an important marker of health in youth, includes explosive strength, which can be assessed using the standing long jump (SLJ). Little is known concerning the SLJ in populations with disabilities such as youth with visual impairments (VI) who trend with decreased health- and performance-related outcomes. The purposes of this study were to investigate multidimensional SLJ performance outcomes in youth with VI (i.e., descriptives and percentages of occurrence) and to explore associations among such variables and known factors of interest (e.g., age) using robust linear bivariate regressions. This study was a secondary analysis from data collected in 2018 (N = 61, Mage = 12.98 years, SD = 2.21). SLJ performance was investigated using a multidimensional focus (e.g., distance, Test of Gross Motor Development-3 horizontal jump, landing developmental sequences, landing joint displacement, and stabilization after landing). In general, SLJ performance was substandard in youth with VI. Most SLJ assessment scores were predictive of other SLJ assessment scores. Few hypothesized variables of interest (e.g., multimorbidity) were predictive of SLJ performance. Youth with VI who match the characteristics of the current sample may have decreased explosive strength/muscular fitness and, worryingly, their SLJ performance may not be influenced by expected factors (e.g., age). Implications and explanations for these results are discussed.
