BRŮŽKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the leisure time of children with visual impairment during compulsory education with a focus on sports and physical activities. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The introductory passages of the theoretical part define the concept of visual impairment, introduce its classification systems and describe the specifics related to the time of its onset and to the child with visual impairment during compulsory education. Subsequent chapters introduce to the reader the concept of leisure time, its functions and types of leisure activities that are suitable for children with visual impairment. The final chapters focus on the benefits of physical and sports activities and on physical activities suitable for children with visual impairment. The last chapter focuses on organisations supporting sports and movement for children with visual impairment. The practical part is aimed at fulfilling the research objective, which is to find out about possibilities and obstacles in spending leisure time of children with visual impairment with a profile on physical and sports activities during compulsory education. To achieve the research objective, a mixed research design is applied. Quantitative data is collected through a questionnaire survey with a total of two hundred and eight parents of children with visual impairment. The data from the questionnaire survey is analysed by using basic statistical procedures of the first level classification and is presented in individual tables and graphs. To increase the meaningfulness of the questionnaire results, semi-structured interviews are conducted with three children with visual impairment during compulsory education. The research results have pointed to insufficient conditions for the implementation of movement-oriented leisure activities for children with visual impairment in non-formal education, and also to the unpreparedness of physical activity trainers to work with this the target group. The results have also shown that physical education teachers, family members and peers support children with visual impairment in sport the most. The bachelor thesis can serve to optimizing conditions of physical activities of children with visual impairment and can contribute to raising awareness of the issue in society.
