Doctorate Candidate Chemnitz, University, Germany 5 Department of Sport and Health Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, United Kingdom 6 Professor, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, JBMDL, New Jersey, USA The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a Drums Alive Kids Beats Intervention on the physical performance and behaviour of children with developmental delays in the areas of motor development, concentration and impulse control (aged 4.9-6.1 years) in comparison to children with a normal development (aged 4.1-6.1 years). All children were recruited from a pre-school in Bochum/Germany. Table 2 shows the descriptive characteristics of all subjects (Intervention group (IG); Control group (CG)). Written informed consent was received of the legal guardians of all subjects prior to their participation in the study. 2.1.2 Behaviour and motor skills outcome measures The test profile (see table 3) consisted of the Duesseldorf Motoric Test (reference), which included 18 exercises, measurement of the anthropometric data as well as the documentation of different behaviour patterns. The latter has been documented during the intervention at each Drums Alive session. The motoric test as well as the anthropometric data has been conducted before and after the intervention phase.

Results of the Motor Skills Test: The results of the Duesseldorf Motoric Test shown in motoric units. Both intervention groups showed significant improvements in their overall motoric skills compared to the control group. With an increase of 33%, the children of the nursery intervention group benefited the most from the Drums Alive® intervention. The motor activity test revealed that nearly all children that participated in the study improved their motor skills. Jumping power Coordination Reaction The testimony of the children and the behavioral observations make it advisable to carry out more extensive research in this area. The fact that the children were able to be reached emotional, this developing a strong joy (while) learning, (leads us to believe) the Drums Alive program may be more effective in achieving positive results than other programs.

O. Box: TX78666, San Marcos, USA. Tel: +512-2458259, Fax: +512- 2458678, E-mail: [email protected] Received 2015 March 29; Revised 2015 May 29; Accepted 2015 June 2. Background: Physical activity is now widely accepted as a measure to reduce stereotypic behaviors in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, several issues exist concerning the effects of physical activity on stereotypic behaviors, such as inconsistency because it classified the intensity of physical activity using heart rate, monitored the children´s behavior over a span of 4 hours after physical activity and documented how long stereotypic behavior reduction lasted. The regimented exercise routine was also enriched with fun and motivational activities. Objectives: The purse of this study was to examine the effects of physical activity on stereotypical behaviors of children with ASD. Patients and Methods: The present study was comprised of 23 children aged from 5 – 11 years, who particpanted in 15 min. of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Physical activity was indetified as moderate or vigouoous based on the child´s heart rate. Particpants were observed for a period of 2 hours before and after 15 minutes engagement in MVPA and their behaviors were then classified as either post percentage scores to analyze the physical activity effects on children´s stertypic behaviors. Results. A significant reduction in stereotypic behaviors of children with ASD was observed for 2 hours, following 15 min. of MVPA. Conclusions: This information has implications for reserachres and practitioners who consider MVPA particpantion when designing behavior-changing interventions for children ASD. Introduction…. RESEARCH IN CHILDREN SUMMARY Effects of a Drums Alive Intervention in Children with developmental delays and intellectual disabilities Jacqueline Böhr1, Peter Wright1, Henry Schulz1 1Chair of Sports Medicine, Chemnitz University of Technology Introduction In Germany, there are 7.5 Million people with handicaps. 11% thereof are suffering from intellectual disabilities (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2013). Motor disorders, mainly in coordination, such as hand-eye-coordination are one of the integral parts of intellectual disabilities (Lehmkuhle, 2007; Van der Schoot, 1990). Therefore, exercise therapy, with coordinative elements seems to be an important intervention for these patients. In this context drumming, dancing and music are important forms of communication since mankind evolved. It seems that drumming has great acceptance, not only cross-cultural, but also across social borders and different age groups as well and therefore could be used as a medium to introduce a wider population to exercise. That´s why we have been investigating conventional drumming and sportive drumming exercises since 2009. Drums Alive as an sportive drumming intervention uses big gymnastic balls and usual Drum Sticks to move to the music, with aerobic and dance elements as well as strength training and is of course highly coordinative. It can be very emotional and regarding the investigated populations it has great potential as patients can literally drum out their emotions and aggressions. Especially regarding neurological diseases, the release of neurotransmitter through physical

CLIVE PARKINSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Arts for Health Manchester Metropolitan University 2018 Abstract This thesis draws together nine publications spanning the period between 2007 and 2018. They have been selected to reflect a specific aspect of my research trajectory, its contribution to the field of arts and health, and its future direction, demonstrating its application to international policy and practice, whilst placing it within a space that is critical of its own community of interest. The research is informed by the cultural and political landscape of ‘austerity’ in the UK. It questions the dominance of neoliberal policies and culture and how these influence the arts and health field, and positions itself outside the bio-medical discourse. Whilst questioning notions of ‘gold standards’ in research and evaluation, the argument made, is for an arts-led field in the pursuit of social justice and health equity, rather than one understood through the language of pathology and sickness. Through an artist led perspective, this thesis amplifies and builds on the thinking of those concerned with inequalities, (Marmot, 2010; Wilkinson and Pickett, 2009/2011) drawing on the work of contemporary theorists and academics across allied disciplines, taking into account the current policy context for arts and health in the UK.

However, there is little research about how demographic factors (such as age, gender, ethnicity, personality, and socioeconomic status) or factors relating to creative engagement (including engagement behaviors and subjective experience of engagement) influence our ability to use artistic creative activities to regulate our emotions. We analyzed data from 40,949 adults and used a structural equation modeling approach to model the relationships among demographic factors, factors relating to engagement, and our use of emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) while engaging in artistic creative activities. We found that women make more use of creative activities to regulate their emotions than do men, as do those of lower socioeconomic status.

    THE IMPACT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ARTS ON THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF HOSPITAL INPATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA _______________________ A Thesis Presented to The Royal College of Music Centre for Performance Science ______________________ In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy _______________________ by Gregory Windle April 2019 Gregory Windle 2019 Keywords: arts-in-health; dementia; hospital; wellbeing; person-centred care i ABSTRACT The global rise of dementia has provoked a multidimensional response from research, policy, and practice sectors. Care for dementia in hospital settings is of particular concern given the outsized lengths of stay and readmission rates. To respond to the resulting care needs, arts in health programmes are increasingly implemented in hospitals, with a central focus on supporting those with dementia. This PhD aimed to explore patterns of engagement with the arts and their psychosocial effects on hospital inpatients with dementia, with a particular focus on the differences in psychological impact between traditional and digital modes of engagement. The study used a sequential mixed methods design organised across three inter-related studies. Study 1, a cross-sectional study of 123 inpatients, used a questionnaire battery consisting of validated measures for loneliness, quality of life, and depression alongside questions regarding current, past-year, and life course engagement with different art forms and cultural activities. High rates of loneliness and depression were measured among participants, but current individual engagement with the arts was associated with less loneliness and increased quality of life. Notably, passive and solitary activities such as reading and watching television were associated with lower levels of loneliness.
