Programa físico-recreativo basado en actividades musicales para el desarrollo motriz y satisfacción en clases con estudiantes del Instituto de Parálisis Cerebral del Azuay

Abstract

Introduction: physical-recreational activity, when represented as a pleasant science of immediate satisfaction, is usually an effective strategy of social intervention, which influences all social strata from various angles, including people with intellectual

disabilities. However, due to the lack of programs that stimulate the practice of physical- recreational activity including musical activities, they are in inferior conditions than the

general population. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a physical-recreational intervention plan based on musical activities on motor development and satisfaction within physical education classes of students aged 7 to 10 with intellectual disabilities at the Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IPCA). Methodology: a quantitative, pre-experimental and descriptive approach was assumed. The study sample consisted of 12 students from the Cerebral Palsy Institute of Azuay, to whom the MOBAK and 3Js batteries were applied. The application of the physical-recreational intervention plan was evaluated on two occasions, pre- and post-intervention. Results: the application program had statistical significance (p>0.05) in the body control variable, where an increase in the mean of 1 point was observed, with a significant increase p=0.039. However, in the variables control of objects and locomotor coordination, no significant increase was found p=0.91 and p=0.27 respectively. Conclusion: the effectiveness of the physical-recreational intervention plan based on musical activities on motor development and satisfaction within physical education classes of students aged 7 to 10 with intellectual disabilities at the Institute of Cerebral Palsy of Azuay was determined.
