Abstract
The study was conducted to analyze the effect of Playing Exercise Program on body composition and physical fitness on mentally handicapped. The subjects participated research were 12 male and 7 female who were mentally handicapped. P.E.P. was applied once a week for 120 minutes in total for 10 weeks. Pre-Post test for body composition (weight, body fat percentage, body fat mass, muscle mass, cell mass) and Physical Fitness (muscular endurance, strength; hand strength, back strength, flexibility; trunk flexion forward) were conducted to analyze the effects. For obtaining the statistics, SPSS 18.0 was used and mean and standard deviation were calculated. T-test was performed to differentiate performance ability and to compare the effect of P.E.P. on body composition and physical fitness for 10 weeks and the statistical level of significance was set to p<.05. The result obtained showed significant difference for only muscle mass in body composition variable. Moreover when analyzing physical fitness variable, there were significant differences in back strength, grasping left and right hand, trunk flexion forward and muscular endurance. Therefore, it can be concluded that the P.E.P. was effective for mentally handicapped. And the program can be utilized as effective energy consumption program and can contribute to preventing adult diseases.
