Introduction: The prevalence of Parkinson's disease in recent years, especially among elderly people, has increased. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of 8 weeks of core stability training on intrinsic motivation in Parkinson's disease. Methods: This was an experimental and field research with pre- post-test method and control group. 20 patients with aged between 55 to 75 years were selected through purposive sampling with mild to moderate disease and were randomly divided to two experimental and control groups. Hohen & Yahr (H&Y) index for assessing the severity and stage of disease were used. The experimental group participated in 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week of core stability training. Before and after the training, the pre- and post-test of intrinsic motivation questionnaire (McAuley et all, 1989) was used to assess. The mixed ANOVA test with repetitive measures in last factor was used. Findings: The findings related to intrinsic motivation (and subscales) index in Parkinson's disease showed that statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in favor of experimental group, such a way that the experimental group had more motivation score than the control group. Conclusion: Probably in this study, increased mobility experiences and also improve strength leading to increased intrinsic motivation (interest and enjoyment, perceived competence, effort).

Introduction: The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of the normative feedback regarding perceived competence on performance and learning of throwing task in male students in Ahvaz. Methods: 60 students were selected through purposive sampling were divided into high (15 in normative feedback and 15 in control group) and low (15 in normative feedback and 15 in control groups) perceived competence groups. Acquisition stage was performed in two sessions with 100 trials (each session 5 blocks with 10 trials). At the end of last practice block in second session, the posttest was performed with 20 trials without any feedback. 48 hours after posttest, retention test was administered. Findings: The results of Mixed Repeated Measure ANOVA revealed normative feedback between two high and low perceived competence groups was not statistically significant (P>0/05). But, the performance and learning of participants in high perceived competence group had were statistically different from those of the other groups. Also, the performance of normative feedback group in both posttest and retention test was better than the performance of the other groups. Conclusion: According to the findings, sporting trainer and teachers are recommended to use normative feedback and strengthen psychology factors such as perceived competence for reaching batter performance and learning in performing the same tasks.
