Abstract

The aim of this well-thought and complex physical rehabilitation program is to expand the body-motor activity of young athletes with mild myopia. It increases one’s body-resistance to external conditions. It enhances the way the bodily-organs and the whole body function. It has been found out that students with myopia are lagging behind in physical and motor development in comparison with healthy students. This study is about the characteristics of training and education of children with myopia, mainly school age or preschool children, and also young athletes with visual impairments, particularly school children who have mild myopia. Research and practice have confirmed that an improved condition of the health of students, who participated at this coaching program, took place most successfully, if the lessons were conducted by a complex method, and when there were used a variety of means. In this regard, there is reason to believe that the process of normalization and correction of physical development of students with visual impairment is possible through a complex interaction of various means of physical rehabilitation, according to how these are matched to the peculiarities of health, visual impairment, physical development, physical fitness and projected future professional activities of individual school children. The content and duration of class-time was rigorously determined, when this physical rehabilitation program was conducted. It was understood that the basis of a sequential process of physical rehabilitation is a systematic and a continuous operation, if was expected a strengthening and improvement of the functionality of the growing body of a school child. To achieve this, it had to include a comprehensive physical rehabilitation program for children from 8 to15 years, with mild myopia and spasm of accommodation. This comprehensive program of physical rehabilitation includes the following components. 1. Physiotherapy sessions, which consist of general developmental and special exercises with different gym-gear and fitness equipment. 2.Recreational and educational games; 3.Breathing exercises; 4. Relaxation exercises; 5.Do-it-yourself eye-massage techniques; 6. Do-it-yourself special physical exercises.
