Abstract

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of body percussion exercises on the executive performance and fundamental movement skills of mentally retarded children. The statistical population included children with mental retardation in Chadegan city, of which 30 people (15 people in the experimental group, 15 people in the control group) with an age range of 8 to 10 years were selected and by performing continuous performance test (sustained attention), color-word Stroop (Response Inhibition) and Ulrich Gross Motor Skills Test 2015 (fundamental movement skills) participated in this research as a pre-test-post-test. During 8 weeks, the experimental group received 45-minute group 2 sessions of the selected intervention program of wind percussion. But the control group did the usual school activities. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance at a significance level of p≤0.05. The results showed that the effect of wind percussion exercises on sustained attention (P=0.001), response inhibition (P=0.001) and fundamental movement skills (P=0.001) significant and the participants of the experimental group performed better than the control group (P=0.001). According to the findings, it seems that wind percussion exercises are a beneficial intervention to improve movement and cognitive skills in children with mental disabilities; Therefore, it is suggested to use these exercises in the physical education programs of exceptional schools and rehabilitation centers.
