masking tape or lines on the floor

1. child sprints from one line to another for a distance of 10m when the coach signals “Go!”

Yes, encourage children using wheelchairs to practice changing directions quickly and safely.

Change the environment:

• provide verbal encouragement for the child to run as fast as they can
• give the child advance warning to start (i.e., Ready, set, go) to decrease cognitive demand

Change the task: have the child run a shorter distance (move cones closer together) to decrease physical demand

Change the environment: increase the distance that the child needs to walk to increase physical demand 

Change the task:

• increase physical demand by increasing running distance (move cones farther apart)
• increase physical demand by increasing the number of sprints to complete the activity

• child is able to sprint 10m in 15 seconds, 3 times in a row
• I can sprint from one point to another
