Abstract
<p class="apa">The aim of study was to examine the effect of eight weekly aerobic exercises on auditory reaction time and maxvo<sub>2</sub> in visual impairments. Forty visual impairment children that have blind 3 classification from the Turkey, experimental group; (age=15.60±1.10 years; height=164.15±4.88 cm; weight=66.60±4.77 kg) for twenty subject and control group; (age=15.40±1.09; height=166.30±3.87 cm; weight=65.20±3.94 kg) for twenty subject, participated as volunteer in this research. The audio reaction time in dominant hand assessments were made by Newtest 1/1000 sensitive reaction timer. This study that used the 20-m shuttle run test to estimate peak oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub>max) for visual impairment children in experimental and control groups on a wooden gymnasium floor. Exercise intensity was determined according to the workload reached during the maximal graded exercise test. Reserve heart rate was calculated as the difference between peak and resting heart rate, multiplied by the intensity of exercise and added to resting heart rate, according to the Karvonen method. MaxVO<sub>2 </sub>was significantly different between experimental and control group in pre-test (P&lt;0.05). On the other hand, auditory reaction time was insignificant differences between experimental and control grouping pre-test (P&gt;0.05). Auditory reaction time and MaxVO<sub>2 </sub>was significantly different between pre-test and post-test in experimental group (P&lt;0.05). On the other hand, auditory reaction time and MaxVO<sub>2</sub>was insignificant differences between pre-test and post-test in control group (P&gt;0.05). In conclusion, regular aerobic training programs in visual-impaired ones will lead to improvements in auditory reaction time and maximal oxygen capacity and sweep their disadvantages in comparison to their peers.</p>

Sportive activities have become an indispensable part of healthy life for years
Our study was to analyze the effect of regular aerobic training programs on audial reaction time and maximal oxygen capacity in visual-impaired individuals
Physical and physiological developments in visual-impaired individuals were related with insufficient participation in exercise programs rather than normal individuals (Ponchillia et al, 2005)
Summary
Sportive activities have become an indispensable part of healthy life for years. Exercise is an instrument which aims to develop individuals’ physical and mental behaviors. Exercises develop individuals with functional deficiencies in terms of physical and psychological situations, increase their self-confidence and reintegrate them into society When mentioning about these types of activities, disabled individuals must not be forgotten and these opportunities must be provided to them as well (Karaküçük, 1999). More studies must be done for visual-impaired individuals to create a suitable environment, make them participate in sportive activities and organize physical activity programs in accordance with visual-impaired individuals in order to do sport. Because if these individuals are guided to individual and team sports without achieving physical developments, their success will be negatively affected and this will cause loss of self-confidence
