  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: VARIATION OF UPPER BODY AND LOWER BODY FORCE IN CHILDREN WITH AND WITHOUT MENTAL DISABILITY

The aim of the current paper is to assess the motor quality of force, in children with and without mental disability, in order to identify its variations. Within the research, we started from the following hypothesis: mentally disabled children have reduced upper body and lower body force (as motor quality) compared to children without mental disability. The study included 35 female subjects aged between 14 and 17, with various degrees of mental disability. Measurement results show that for peak lower body force the best result was obtained by the group of children with mild mental disability. Consequently, force may not be influenced by the degree of mental disability, and this aspect should be studied in a future research.
