The purpose of this study A Comparison of the Gross and Fine Motor Skills of Athletes and Non-Athletes with Down’s syndrome form of an athlete and a non-athlete group. Using convenience selected from the centers affiliated with Tehran and Alborz Welfare Organization with an age range of 24-33 and with moderate intellectual disability
performed the subscales of Bruininks is a set of norm-referenced tests
the significant difference between the two groups in fine motor skills including the subtests of response speed, visual-motor control, speed, and upper
analyzed using t-tests (p<0.05). The statistical analysis was done through SPSS.
Effect of predictable and unpredictable anxiety on body sway in athletes and non- athletes
publication date 2013, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran
publication description objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of predictable anxiety on body sway in athletes and non-athletes. Method: Twenty four healthy adults (12athletes and 12 nonetheless, mean age: 22±4.35) participated in this study selected voluntarily. Participants were asked to stand upright on a foot on a force plate with their eyes open. In order to induce anxiety, a predictable sound (80 dB SPL) was delivered at a certain time (at the 30s) during the test. The Center Of Pressure enveloped the area, and standard deviation from the center of pressure, in the mediolateral and anterior-posterior axis was measured. The level of anxiety measured with the skin conductance level (SCL). Result: There was no significant difference between body sway conversions of athletes and non-athletes before testing but the balance was decreased in non-athletes after stimulus onset. Conclusion: findings showed that athletes are able to control their balance better than non-athletes. The body sway area was greater in non-athletes.

Publication title effect of selected balance exercises on the dynamic balance of children with visual impairments
publication date2013 publication description journal of Visual Impairments and Blindness
publication description maintaining balance while walking is of utmost importance for individuals with visual impairments because deficits in dynamic balance have been associated with a high risk of falling. Thus, the primary aim of the study presented here was to determine whether balance training affects the dynamic balance of children with visual impairments. Methods: The study included 19 children with visual impairments (aged 8 to 14) from the school for students with visual impairments in Isfahan, Iran, who were randomly assigned to a balance-training (n = 9) or control (n = 10) group. The balance-training group was required to participate in an eight-week balance-training program, while the control group did not participate in any organized balance-training program. The Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance was used to measure the dynamic balance of the participants. Both groups performed a pretest prior to the experimental period and performed a posttest immediately after the experimental period. Results: The scores on the pretest showed no significant difference between the balance-training group and the control group. However, after the balance-training group completed the balance-training program, a between-group difference was found in the participants’ task scores, t (18) = 4.095, p < .05. Discussion: The findings indicate that involvement in a balance-training program will significantly improve the dynamic balance of individuals with visual impairments relative to a control group. The study showed that if instructors require individuals with visual impairments to perform balance-improving exercises, the result can be an outstanding improvement in their dynamic balance. With improved balance, individuals with visual impairments may encounter fewer falls and experience a healthier lifestyle.
The effect of mental training on selective attention in female students
publication date 2012, Annals of Biological Research, 2012, 3 (7):3328-3332
publication description the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mental training on selective attention in girl’s students. This study employed a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test design to measure whether physical activity and mental training on selective attention in girl’s students, aged 18 to 30. This research involved two experimental groups and one control group. Categories include: mental-physical practices groups (n=15, 21.8 ± 2.3), the group’s Physical activities (n=15, 21.9± 3.2), and control group (n=15, 22.2 ± 4.4). Based on the researchers’ protocol, 6 weeks and every week 2 practice sessions were performed for all participants. But the control group did their routine activities. Selective attention of participants before and after the exercise intervention was assessed by the d2 test. Obtained data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and LSD Post Hoc tests at the level of (P<0.05). The statistical
data showed that the positive effects of mental-physical training (P<0/01), positive effects of physical activity (P<0/01), No significant difference was observed in the control group (P<0/1). Also, no differences were observed between mental training and physical activity groups. This study showed that physical and mental training causes to be a significant effect on the improvement of selective attention in girl’s students. Although no differences were observed between the two groups, this study emphasizes the combined application of the physical and mental training
makes a better performance for improving selective attention.
