The purpose of this research was determination of relationship between mothers and children's motor development. Participants were 150 Childs with 4-6 aged and their mothers that lived in Eastern Azerbaijan province, Sarab city, and choice by cluster from kindergarten- pre-school centers. The equipment was Demographic, the short form of International Physical Activity, Bar-on Emotional Intelligence questionnaires, and the short form of second edition of Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency test. The results of Smart PLS3 showed that: In the %95 of confidence level, the mothers' emotional intelligence predicted 41% (p =0/000) and the mothers' physical activity predicted %17/3 (p=0/030) of children's motor development variations. Also, the mothers' emotional intelligence predicted % 15/9 of mothers' physical activity (p=0/028). The mothers' emotional intelligence has two-fold roles in facilitating of children's motor development and mothers' physical activity. Also mothers' emotional intelligence is facilitator of mothers' physical activity. It is seems that the improvement of emotional intelligence and doing of physical activity can help to improvement of children's motor development.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of virtual reality training program on motor imagery ability in children with developmental coordination disorder(DCD).The sampling design was purposive and 40 female children with DCD(aged 7-10years) from students of Tabriz, by using DCDQ, PMOQ-T, and BOTMP tests were identified and were randomly replaced in two groups of experimental and control groups. The virtual reality training program consisted of a selection of Xbox 360 Kinect games that were performed for 8 weeks (2 sessions per week and each session lasting 30 minutes). Motor imagery of children was also measured by using a hand rotation task test. The Results of repeated measure ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between two groups on motor imagery ability (P

this study aimed to investigate the effect of a period of selected motor intervention program on improving the performance of motor skills of children carrying ACE and ACTN-3 different genotypes. To this end, children's movement skills (50 boys, 5.8 ± 1.32 years) in tow subscales of locomotors and Object control is evaluated using Ulrich’s gross motor development test before and after eight weeks of the motor training program. In addition, epithelial mouth cells and PCR technique determined ACE and ACTN-3 genotypes. The results of the covariance analysis showed that children carrying ACE-D allele, separately (DD or ID), and combination (DD+ID), compared to those with II homozygotes and children carrying ACTN-3- R allele, Separate (RR or RX) and combination (RR+RX) compared to those with XX homozygotes to response the motor intervention program had higher levels of progression in performance of locomotors motor skills (p

The purpose of this study was to examine whether a cognitive training intervention leads to significant improvements on measures of balance and gait in schizophrenia inpatient with depression disorder. This non-randomized clinical trial with a control group examined the effect of cognitive training over 12 weeks on balance and gait in 20 man schizophrenia inpatients with depression disorder. Patients were homogeneously(based on age, score of MMSE, scor of depression) assigned to groups of intervention and control . Participations enrolled in intervention group attended in cognitive rehabilitation of memory and attention(ARAM( sessions for 45–60 minutes three times weekly for 12 weeks (36 total sessions). Data of Pre-test and post-test resulting from the test of standing on dominant leg with opened and closed eyes ,10-meter gait speed, 10-meter gait speed under gait-visuospatial dual-task condition and 10-meter gait speed under gait-motor dual-task condition were analyzed by using pair- samples t- test and comparing the post-test of the two groups analyzed by using independent t-test. Results showed the cognitive training intervention group had significant increase in static balance with opened and closed eyes and gait speed under single and dual-task condition from pre-test to post-test (p≤0.05). the cognitive training intervention group had significant improve in static balance with opened and closed eyes, gait speed under single and dual-task condition rather than the control group.

In competitive sports as cricket, soccer, basketball and tennis, players must catch a fast moving ball, turn it around or even stop it along the way. To do this successfully, player must ultimately predict the speed, accuracy, location and timing of the ball. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of time constraints on the quiet eye and performance in skilled and novice basketball players.This research were 24 skilled (n=12) and novice (n=12) basketball players with an age range of 19 to 26 years. For this research, task was executed under 0%, 25% and 50% temporal constraint condition. The task included 10 one hand set shot in each of the temporal constraints. The participant’s quiet eye collected by using eye tracking glasses, also the number of successful and unsuccessful shots was recorded on the record sheet. Finally, for the research analysis, 2*3 ANOVA was used. The results showed that there was a significant different in quiet eye and performance between skilled and novice participants with and without temporal constraints, also quiet eye and performance were decreased by increase in temporal constraints. Based on the results of this study, quiet eye can be one of the distinguishing factors of different skill levels, which focus on it can help to improve the expertise performance in sport.

The aim of this study was the effect of internal and external attention on anticipatory motor plannig. in people with MS. Thirty patients with mean age of 34 (age mean= 34±2/43 , EDDS=4-6) with criteria for participation in the study. to prevent the effects of sequencing on task assignment to a subgroup The three focus groups were internal, external, and non-instructional. In this study, the Bar- transfer task was used for anticipatory motor planning. Interventions focused on the focus of attention on the thumb and on the external attention to the Bar. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to investigate the effect of different types of focus onanticipatory motor planning. The results showed that external focus in the Bimanual task led to an increase in comfortable end state and non-instructional effort resulted in better internal focus as well as Stroop test score, executive functions, and weksler test with most project conditions and assignments. There was a significant relationship between most conditions and assignments. Also, Pearson correlation coefficient test results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between Stroop test score and executive functions with predictive planning in two-handed and two-handed assignments in all attentional focus conditions, and also between the numbers of the number-calling test and the Predictive projection in the two-handed and two-handed assignments was significantly correlated across all attentional conditions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic activity with low and moderate-intensity on executive functions and selective attention in children with ADHD. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design. The statistical sample consisted of 20 girls 7 to 12 years old with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from an elementary school in district 6 of Tehran city. They were selected as available sampling and randomly divided into two groups of low and moderate intensity aerobic activity. The Stroop and Tower of London tests were used to examine executive functions and selective attention in pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc test, and Leven’s test. Results showed that the moderate-intensity aerobic activity group had better performance in the studied variables than the low-intensity aerobic activity group .
