The aim. The karate competition requires the athlete to have a comprehensive manifestation of motor abilities. At the same time, the motor-related area is closely connected with function of the auditory analyzer. Consequently, auditory deprivation affects all types of motor abilities, but, first of all, it affects coordination abilities, since they are implemented on a defective basis of the sensory systems involved in controlling movements. Technical means (punches and kicks, blocks) and tactical means (instant assessment of the situation and making the right decisions) of traditional karate effectively affect the correction of various manifestations of motor coordination. Moreover, the above mentioned karate means affect motor coordination through motor experience in the form of complicating previously mastered movements and mastering new movements with increased coordination difficulties. Methods and organization of the study. We used the following set of complementary theoretical methods to meet the challenge of theoretical substantiation of the research: analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodical literature, scientific articles on adaptive physical culture, abstracting, generalization and concretization. Results. The research revealed the most common deviations in the manifestation of various components of coordination abilities of children with auditory deprivation. We specified sensitive periods of development of this type of motor qualities in children with hearing impairments. We identified basic karate techniques and actions, which favorably influence the course of development of coordination abilities. Conclusion. Correction and development of the coordination abilities of children with hearing impairments represent the primary task of adaptive physical education. The most favorable age is primary school age. Techniques and actions of traditional karate have a high potential of effective impact on all types of coordination abilities of children.

Static (Cst(L)), dynamic (Cdyn(L)), and “specific lung compliance (CL/TLC, CL/FRC) and the elastic recoil pressure of the lungs (Pst/(L)) were measured in 131 healthy children and the adolescents (age 6 to 17 years) from simultaneous recordings of esophageal pressure and lung volume. Esophageal elastance and vertical esophageal pressure gradients were also studied. Pst(L), measured at different lung volumes (fractional) from the expiratory quasi-static pressure-volume (PV) curves of the lungs, increased significantly with increasing body height, age, and body surface. Cst(L), determined from the midportion of PV curves, and Cdyn(L) measured during normal breathing at frequencies around 20/min also increased significantly with somatic growth. “Specific” Cst(L) decreased with increasing body height, age, and body surface. “Specific” Cdyn(L), esophageal elastance, and the vertical esophageal pressure gradient were independent of body height, age, and body surface, Cdyn(L) was less than Cst(L) mainly in smaller and younger children, and was not considered a valid index of pulmonary elasticity. Values of Pst(L), “specific” Cst(L), and the change of slope of the midportion of PV curves in children and adolescents suggested developmental changes of pulmonary elasticity in man over the age range studied.

Physical activity (PA) is important for the development of children and adolescents with hearing impairments (HI). This systematic review aims to summarise the existing literature pertaining to the PA of children and adolescents with HI. A systematic search was conducted on eight major electronic databases. Two reviewers independently screened and selected the returned articles, performed data extraction, assessed methodological quality and synthesised the data using an inductive approach. A total of 15 articles consisting of 14 survey studies and one single-subject intervention study met the inclusion criteria. These studies had good to excellent methodological quality. Participants with HI showed lower levels of participation in PA than participants without disabilities, but they were more physically active than those with other types of disabilities. Amongst the 12 PA correlates identified (i.e., gender, age, mother’s education and social cognitive constructs), only gender was a relatively consistent determinant, and boys are significantly more physically active than girls. Additional studies are needed to confirm the determinants of the PA in children and adolescents with HI to provide strong evidence for the development and implementation of PA interventions for this target group.

Children have been the beneficiaries of pacing therapies since the pioneering days of the technology. Yet, despite the fact that paediatric pacemaker implants represent around 1% of all pacemaker implantations, there are no guidelines at present dedicated to pacing in this population. This chapter discusses the challenges and needs specific to pacing therapy in children, such as the small stature and the continual somatic growth of paediatric patients; the prevalence of intracardiac shunting; and the often complex anatomical heart structures in children with an indication for pacing. Such differences from adult pacemaker recipients are reflected in the decisions on, for example, implantation route (epicardial versus endocardial), on choice of single-chamber versus dual-chamber devices, selection of pacing sites, or programming. The chapter also highlights questions about lead removal, which is particularly important given the sheer number of replacements expected in paediatric patients, and provides an outlook towards the future of pacing in children and the role of leadless devices and future therapeutic advances.

Prof. Urszula Eckert was a special educator committed to rehabilitation and education for children and adolescents with hearing impairments. She dedicated her professional life to The Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw, where she provided training for research workers and students – future teachers of students with hearing impairments. Her scientific work focused on the early assessment and rehabilitation of children with hearing impairments, including specifically correcting and improving hearing and speech.
