Study on the physical fitness level and measurement methods for people with visual impairment and blindness

本研究的目的是阐明视障盲人体质水平的特点及其测量方法。视障者的身体素质水平低于正常人，尤其是盲人。在视障人群中，有体育活动习惯组的体适能水平高于无体育活动习惯组，在学校体适能水平快速测试中，盲人宜采用不需要视觉信息的Burpee测验，而不采用需要视觉信息的侧步测验。此外，在20米往返跑测试中，建议由指导跑步者提供支持或使用适当的听觉信息来测量耐力健身。

The purpose of this study is to clarify the features of the physical fitness level of people with visual impairment and blindness and the measurement methods for them. The fitness level of visually-impaired people is lower than that of sighted people, especially in the blind people. In visually-impaired people the fitness level is higher in the group having the habit of sport activity than that of the group which does not have it. In school fitness level quickness test it is suitable for blind people to use the Burpee Test which does not require visual information, rather than the Side Step Test which requires visual information. Also, to measure the endurance fitness with 20m Shuttle Run Test the support by a guide runner or use of appropriate auditory information is recommended.
