The Effect of Exergaming interventions (Xbox Kinect) on Gross Motor Skills of children with developmental motor delay: Emphasis on modern training

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Exergaming intervention(Xbox Kinect) on gross motor skills in children with developmental motor delay. The present research is semi-experimental and also according to the type of research in the category of applied researches. Participants were included all preschool and elementary students in years 95-94. Due to the large volume of the community, Available Sample method was used. Finally, 30 patients were selected that were commensurate whit the research objectives. After pretest based on Ulrich gross motor development tests (2000), they were divided randomly into two groups of 15(experience and control). The experimental group performed Xbox kinect games for three months, while the control group did not have a standardized workout. first to analysis of normal and homogeneity of data, we used k-s and levene tests. and the analysis of covariance was used to compare groups. The analysis of covariance results showed that there is a significant difference between subject's average of gross motor skills scores (movement and manipulation), (P
