In this paper, an analysis was carried out to explore the effects of 12-week inline skate training on changes in basal physical strengths (muscular power, cardiopulmonary endurance, flexibility, explosive muscular strength, agility, balance, etc.) of the students with intellectual disability. For this purpose, 20 subjects were selected by the purposive sampling method among the students aged 17-19 with intellectual disability who were enrolled in a special school in J city, Jeollabuk-do and were assigned to the experimental group. The group underwent 60-minute long inline skate exercises 3 times a week during the program. Each time before and after the training, the basal physical strength of the trainees was tested. The variances used for measuring the basal physical strength in this study included muscular power by sit-up, cardiopulmonary endurance by long run, flexibility by trunkflexion, explosive muscular power by standing long jump, agility by shuttle run and sense of balance by foot balance. Matching samples were all put to t=test to examine the difference in the data measured before and after the training. From the analysis of the data measured before and after the training, it became evident that the 12-week inline skating program was very effective in promoting such basal physical strengths of the students with intellectual disability as muscular power, cardiopulmonary endurance, flexibility, explosive muscular strength and sense of balance, with statistically significant difference in each item revealed, though.
