Purpose: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is common among intellectual disability children that can worsen motor problems, especially motor skills. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of combining core stability exercises with coordination exercises on motor proficiency of intellectual disability children with DCD.
Methods: The population was boys with intellectual disability and DCD studying in Golestan School of Tabriz randomly that were divided into two groups of 15 subjects in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. Motor skills were evaluated using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Short Form in the pre- and post-test. The experimental group performed three sessions (every week) of 60 minutes of combined core stability with coordination training for eight weeks. SPSS v. 21, dependent t-test, and analysis of covariance at the significance level of P<0.05 were used for statistical analysis.
Results: Comparing the means of the two groups showed a positive significant difference in running speed and agility (P=0.001), balance (P=0.001), two-way coordination (P=0.001), strength (P=0.001), upper limb coordination (P=0.001), response speed (P=0.001), speed motor vision control (P=0.001), upper limb agility (P=0.001), and the overall gross and fine motor skills scores (P=0.001) and the combined score of the short scale (P=0.001).
Conclusion: The results indicated that combining core stability with a coordination training program can be used to enhance the motor skills of DCD children with intellectual disabilities. Thus, sports coaches and experts, and specialists in other related fields are recommended to use these exercises to enhance the gross and fine motor skills of students with intellectual disabilities, especially those with DCDs.

● Intellectual disabilities people are deficient in physical fitness and balance compared to healthy people.
● These problems affect their academic and social performance maintaining muscle strength and endurance and improving balance.
● Proper posture and posture and strengthening the muscles, stabilize the core stability of the muscles.
● People with intellectual disability have developmental coordination disorders compared to normal people.
● Coordination sports interventions can be extremely effective in creating visual movement control, speed and agility of the upper limbs, speed and agility, balance, strength and coordination of the limbs, and bilateral coordination.
Plain Language Summary
The mentally retarded are those with below-average Intelligence Quotient. Mentally retarded in terms of education is divided into four groups, which include: slow learning (IQ 90-75), teachable group with IQ (70-50), trainable group (30-49) and dependent group (below 29) are. Among the educable mentally retarded are children who have difficulty in coordinating components, in fine and coarse motor skills such as balance, throwing and jumping poorly, and in finger movements and coordination of eye and hand movements compared to ordinary people. They also have delayed motor development compared to their peers, which reduces their balance, and they usually perform slower and less accurate movements. On the other hand, the physical fitness of these people compared to healthy people is defective and they need attention and exercise. Because these problems affect their academic and social performance. In these people, maintaining muscle strength and endurance and balance and improving motor skills to achieve a better life and functional independence are important factors. Therefore, according to the research results, central stability exercises, while maintaining proper posture and posture during functional activities, prevented the occurrence of incorrect movement patterns to some extent, and on the other hand, coordination exercises as improving balance and bilateral coordination, upper limb coordination Improved in other respects was also accepted as a fun and lively game. Therefore, one of the reasons for the effectiveness of the central stability and coordination exercise program on increasing gross and fine motor skills was to increase balance and increase vitality and self-confidence to be appropriate to the needs of these children. All coaches and parents can use the combined central stability and coordination exercise program due to the cheapness and availability of these exercise equipment that one can easily do at home, in leisure time and exercise bell.
