Haphysical activity, physical education and sports of persons with mental disability in relation with wellness (theoretical consideration)
Keywords:
Intellectual disability, benefits of physical activity, environment of physical activities, health related variables.Abstract
The theoretical concept of participation in physical activities (PA) of persons with mental disability (MD) is presented. Sub-parts are oriented on explanation of basic terminology (physical activity, physical education, sport) and specific aspects of PA (evolution, movement standards, social development, sports programs). External framework of PA and their influence on personality with MD is stressed, too (legislation and environmental conditions). The benefits of PA for both psycho-social development and health related variables of persons with MD are described including frequent and recommended activities.
