Journal Title: Palestrica Mileniului III - Civilizatie si Sport - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
[b]Background. [/b]Coordination is a fundamental physical ability in everyday activities or in performing complex motor skills. It refers to the synchronization between different limbs of the body. The Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN) is a numerical notation method that can be used for the analysis and documentation of the movement phenomenon. This method capable of representing complex movement events, especially those that are performed in simultaneous form, which can be seen in the execution of coordinative movements. [b]Aims. [/b]The aim of this research was to examine whether physical practice, based on EWMN, can improve general coordination ability. [b]Methods. [/b]40 college students, which were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), divided into three groups, participated in the research. The student practiced the exercises during 13 weeks, 3 times per week. The Matorin test was conducted at the beginning and at the end of that period for measuring general coordination. [b]Results. [/b]The results indicate that the performances were significantly improved (Z=1.89 and Z=1.73; p<.05) after practicing exercises based on EWMN. [b]Conclusion. [/b]Coordinative practice based on EWMN improved general coordination. The significant improvement can be attributed to the conceptual framework of the intervention program that emphasizes the simultaneous and automatic performance of physical exercises.
