The effect of selected yoga educational exercises on motor and cognitive skills in girls with developmental coordination
Abstract:   (41 Views)

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of selected yoga exercises on motor and cognitive skills in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Method: To achieve the goal, a quasi-experimental method was used. A total of 30 children were randomly selected from the identified population as the study sample. The research variables included gross motor skills, fine motor skills, response inhibition ability, cognitive flexibility, and working memory, which were assessed using the M-ABC-2 motor proficiency test, Go/No-Go test, Stroop test, and N-Back test, respectively. After the pre-test, the sample was divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in an eight-week yoga training program, consisting of three sessions per week. The obtained scores were analyzed using inferential statistics, specifically analysis of variance (ANOVA) in the SPSS software, considering a significance level of 0.05. Resulte: The findings indicated that the selected yoga exercises had a significant effect on improving gross and fine motor skills, response inhibition ability, cognitive flexibility, and working memory in the DCD girls. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, it can be said that including yoga exercises in rehabilitation programs can be used as an effective method to improve motor skills and executive functions in children with developmental coordination disorder.
