The Impact of Exercise and Visual Tasks on Children’s Vision
Study Overview:
This study looked at how physical exercise combined with visual tasks affects children’s vision. It specifically measured uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), kinetic visual acuity (KVA), and accommodation sensitivity.
Methodology:
A total of 168 third-grade students participated, divided into two groups:
- Experimental Group (86 children): Engaged in physical exercises with visual tasks.
- Control Group (82 children): Participated in regular physical exercises.
The study lasted for 16 weeks, during which children’s vision was tested before and after the intervention.
Key Findings:
- The experimental group showed significant improvements in KVA, UDVA, and accommodative sensitivity.
- The control group showed no significant changes in KVA and UDVA but improved in accommodative sensitivity.
- There was a strong link between KVA and both UDVA and accommodative sensitivity.
Visual tasks during exercise positively impacted children’s vision both directly and indirectly through KVA.
Practical Solutions and Value:
Incorporating visual tasks into physical exercise can significantly enhance children’s visual capabilities. This approach can be beneficial for educators, parents, and healthcare providers focusing on children’s health.
