  • Title: [Effects of behaviourally oriented sports therapy on anxiety behaviour in a learning and behaviourally impaired girl. (author's transl)].

    Abstract:
    This case-study of a 12-year old girl with learning and behavioural impairments investigates whether, and to what extent, a reduction of anxiety can be achieved by means of behaviourally oriented sports therapy. Following systematic use of behaviour therapy techniques as well as of model learning and systematic desensibilisation methods, significant modifications (p less than .05; p less than .01), or at least a tendency towards reduced anxiety ( p less than .10), have been stated both in respect of sports-related anxiety as well as of general and situational anxieties; assessment was made by means of the HANES KJ (Hamburg neuroticism and extraversion scale for children and adolescents), two sports-specific questionnaires, and a sports-motor test. No changes were stated using the AFS (anxiety questionnaire for students). The findings to a very large extent confirm our initial hypothesis that bodily movement is an agent capable of achieving anxiety reduction when behaviour therapy methods and techniques are used in the design of the sports activities.
