Károly Cserjés University of West-Hungary, Faculty of P. E. and Sports Sciences, Győr, Hungary Supervisor: Dr. Miklós Bánhidi, college professor Longitudinal Survey on the Lifestyle of Young Adults with Mental Disabilities In our research program we have been monitoring the lifestyle of young adults with mental disabilities, who are living in a public institution in dáka western hungary. We wanted to find out about their lifestyle and how active they live how much calories do they intake and burn every day. We were curious how open are they towards physical active programs. How long are they motivated doing physical activities? For the research we have been using a lifecorder monitor, developed by kenzo company in Japan. This tool allowed us to measure the physical activity and the calorie expenditure of the trials (7 males and 6 females) 1 week long. The monitor recorded datas in every 5 seconds, which has shown us an exact picture about lifestyle changes during the week. To understand the results of the trials, we were consulting with the local nurses and the psychologist. We tried also to offer for the trials spinning exercises. The results of the monitor have shown us that the disabled people in the institution live a very inactive life, compared to the normal population. They don‘t do enough physical activity by themselves. When we organized a training program for them, they were happy and motivated, but when we left, they didn‘t continue the initiative alone. Their endurance capacity of them was very low, we think not only because of the physiological background. We think the reason is the lack of organized physical activity or the lack of coordination abilities related to the level of the disabilities. We suggest in the institution disabled people should get more organized exercises to reach at least the minimum activity to keep them healthy. Because they have fewexperience in training they stop earlier, that‘s why they need much more motivation. 21

The Effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sport</strong> <strong>and</strong> Success on Self-concept <strong>of</strong> the Deaf: Comparative Examination<br />

Having Regard to the Deaflympics<br />

Introduction Nowadays we can hear more <strong>and</strong> more about Paralympics <strong>and</strong> Special Olympic<br />

besides Olympic Games, however we have very few information about Deaflympics, said this<br />

topic is not enough newsworthy. The 21st Summer Deaflympics was organized in September<br />

2009. Our aim is to present how well the Hungarian people informed about the persons with<br />

hearing disability. Even to draw attention to the importance <strong>of</strong> the sport in case <strong>of</strong> the deaf,<br />

<strong>and</strong> show that physical activity can shape the self-concept, through assisting their integration<br />

into the majority society. After analyzing the literature found that as time goes we focus on<br />

the person rather than the disability (Lányiné, 2004).<br />

Hypothesis Our conception is that the physical activity – focusing on successful sport activity<br />

- may help to accept the otherness <strong>and</strong> overcome prejudices <strong>and</strong> that is the reason why sport<br />

activity leads to more positive self-image. Based on our experiences, we suppose that<br />

Hungarian people have slight information about Deaflympics.<br />

in the self-concept test who had different sport-experiences. The members <strong>of</strong> Hungarian deaf<br />
