Background and Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of an exercise intervention on some neuropsychological and motor performance variables, Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2), in children with developmental coordination disorder.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the experimental approach using pre-test and post-test scheme was used. The subjects of the study were 28 school boys - first to fourth grades of elementary school - from district 22 of Tehran municipality. The participants were selected for participation in this study based on the fourth edition of the diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the disorder. First, all subjects took Movement Assessment Battery for children (MABC-2) as a pretest, then they were divided into homogeneous groups and randomly assigned to the experimental (14 subjects with 8.6±1.39 mean age) and control groups (14 subjects with 8.11±1.15 mean age). The intervention group performed the Spark training program for 16 sessions, three sessions per week. At the end of the training sessions, participants completed a posttest. In this study, data analysis was performed using analysis of covariance.
Results: Similarly, the results showed that the experimental group significantly improved in Placing pegs, Drawing Trail, catching with two hands, Throwing Beanbag onto Mat, One-Board Balance, Walking Heel -to- Toe Forwards, hopping on mats (p< 0.05), but there was no significant change in reaction test and Threading Lace item (p> 0.05).
