“…Los estudios relacionados con el análisis de juego en el deporte de Boccia enfocados a la evaluación y control de la técnica son escasos, el estudio de Molik, Zubala, Slyk, Bigas, Gryglewicz y Kucharczyk [17] analiza la motivación de los deportistas para la práctica de este deporte, en relación con su medio ambiente, teniendo en cuenta su edad, experiencia de formación e intensidad del entrenamiento, por su parte la investigación de Morriss y Wittmannová [18] evalúan los efectos de los horarios de entrenamiento de los deportistas de Boccia frente a su desempeño en actividades específicas de lanzamiento y de habilidades motrices.…”

Objetivo: diseñar un sistema integrado que permita evaluar de forma objetiva la efectividad de los fundamentos técnicos del lanzamiento en Boccia, con el propósito de transformar la práctica y el entrenamiento de este deporte. Metodología: Esta investigación corresponde a un diseño tecnológico basado en el desarrollo de un test y un software, con pruebas de validación y pilotaje en un grupo experimental resultados, se desarrolló un sistema integrado que permiten determinar el nivel de efectividad de cada deportista y ubicarlo en una categoría: baja, regular, buena o excelente, para cada una de las variables, de acuerdo a su desempeño. Conclusión: El sistema permite identificar de forma objetiva la efectividad del lanzamiento discriminando el desempeño de cada uno de sus fundamentos técnicos, igualmente permite crear un esquema de juego para competencia, ubicando a los deportistas en el box más estratégico y brinda una herramienta de control para los entrenadores.

“…Boccia is a sport that allows different adaptations (e.g. helmets with pointer, ramps, and assistants) and the participation of seriously compromised athletes (Morriss & Wittmannová, 2011). According to Jeronimo and colleagues (Jerônimo, 2006) in the BC3 classification, the high motor difficulty of these athletes requires assistive technologies such as ramps, which allows athletes that are not able to hold and throw balls, to play anyway.…”

“…The game main objective is score points by positioning red or blue balls as close as possible to the target white ball, also called Jack (Tsai, Yu, Huang, & Cheng, 2014). The use of adaptations such as a helmet with pointer, ramps, and sport assistants is allowed to help those athletes with significantly compromised motor skills (Morriss & Wittmannová, 2011).…”

Boccia is a fun and stimulating physical active sport suitable for people with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The Boccia class three (BC3) players include those with four-limbs-motor-dysfunction with or without CP. These players can request a sport assistant that may help them physically during the game but not in their game strategy. In this work we investigated the use of a supplementary communication sportive board constructed specifically to improve the interaction of Paralympic BC3 players with their sport assistants. This case study enrolled a two-year-experience-CP-BC3 athlete with classification of gross motor function at level 5, severe four limbs dysfunction, low strength and coordination, and no verbal/oral language use but small body movements. This study was performed in a sport club during one month of training, twice a week for two-hour sessions. The sportive communication board (SCB) was designed based on Boccia rules and symbols using white and colored papers, scissors and glue. In the first two training sessions, the Paralympic athlete did not use the sportive board, whereas in the other two sessions the board was tested and the performance was compared. A set of questionnaires was applied to the legal tutor and the sport assistants before and after the SCB tests together with the analysis of the recording of a training session. According to our questionnaires data analysis, a significant contribution to the assistant understanding of the athlete game strategy was noticed by the legal tutor and the sport assistants when using the SCB. Improvement on time playing (reduction of 22%) and difficulty imposed to the opponent (increase of 33%) were the most important data detected during the tests. According to our video-records, the use of the SCB generated positive effects on the athlete overall performance, improving their communication.

“…Further components of ToET include the use of (iv) context-specific training environment that reflects or mimics the natural environment for a specific task execution [15,17,18] and (v) random practice [15,16,19,20]. Nonetheless, a study found that block practice was superior to random practice in training people with CP [21]. The training schedule should involve (vi) either massed [19] or distributed practice [14,15,22].…”

Introduction. To evaluate the effects of task-oriented exercise training program (ToET) on the functional performance (mobility and walking efficiency) of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods. overall, 46 children with CP were recruited from outpatient units of the physiotherapy clinics of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital, and a school for children with disabilities. They were randomly assigned to the ToET group (n = 23) and the control group (CG) (n = 23). Children in CG practised conventional physiotherapy. Each group trained twice weekly for 12 weeks. Mobility and walking efficiency were assessed with a mobility questionnaire and 10-meter walk test, respectively, at baseline, after 6th and 12th weeks, and after 6 weeks of follow-up. data were analysed with repeated measures ANoVA, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Friedman's test, with < 0.05. Results. A total of 39 children with CP completed the study, 19 in CG and 20 in ToET group. The between-group scores of mobility (ToET: 69.15 ± 17.32; CG: 67.03 ± 10.49) and walking efficiency (ToET: 0.63 ± 0.2 m/s; CG: 0.63 ± 0.19 m/s) were not different at baseline and at the 6 th week (p > 0.05). At the 12 th week, there were significant between-group differences in mobility (ToET: 86.16 ± 7.20; CG: 71.09 ± 13.58) and walking efficiency (ToET: 1.00 ± 0.29 m/s; CG: 0.78 ± 0.28 m/s) (p < 0.05). The within-group scores of walking efficiency and mobility increased in both ToET and CG (p < 0.005 for both comparisons). Conclusions. ToET is an effective intervention to improve functional performance of children with CP.
