Objective: Children with intellectual disability get lower scores in basic motor skills than healthy people and need more time to learn than normal people. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of individual and dyad Brailletonik training on executive functions of children with intellectual disability.Method: The research method was semi-experimental, which was carried out with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was children aged 8 to 12 years with an average age of 9.8 ± 1.39, boys and girls with mental retardation in Aligoudarz city, from which 30 people were selected through available sampling. The participants were randomly divided into three groups of 10 people and performed the exercise program in 21 sessions of 30 minutes during seven weeks. To measure executive functions, a brief questionnaire was used. Spss version 26 software was used for data processing and covariance test and Bonferroni post hoc test were used for data analysis. In all statistical tests, a significance level of 0.05 was considered.Result: The results of analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between the groups under investigation in all the investigated components of the research. The results of Bonferroni's post hoc test indicated that the control group had a weaker performance than the individual and couple groups. The executive functions in the training group individually and dyad were better than the control group, and the performance of the dyad group in the variables under investigation was significantly better than the performance of the individual group (P≥0.05).Conclusion: Brailletonik physical activity program has a significant positive effect on improving balance, reaction time and executive functions of children with intellectual disability. It seems that these exercises can be used as a targeted intervention individually or dyad to improve the movement performance of these children. |
