Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of Braitonic exercise on the gross motor skills of educable boys with intellectual disability. Method: In this quasi-experimental study, from among educable male students with intellectual disability, 30 participants with the chronological age of 7-10 years who were free of any disease or movement limitation were selected. After matching based on age, height, and weight, they were randomly divided into two homogeneous groups: experimental (n=15) and control (n=15). Exercises were performed in three 60-minute sessions per week for 8 weeks. Ulrich’s Test of Gross Motor Development was used as pre- and posttest. Results: The results showed that there is no significant difference between the two groups on pretest, while significant differences were observed in the scores of the experimental group from pre- to posttest. In fact, the effect of Braitonic exercise the gross motor skills was confirmed. Conclusion: Based on findings, it seems that Braitonic exercise can help improve the motor skills of children with intellectual disability.
