The Effects of Indigenous-Local Play on Motor Proficiency on Children with High and Low IQ

The impact of IQ on academic achievement has been confirmed, but its effect on the effectiveness of motion interventions is unknown. The present study examines the effects of Indigenous- Local play on the Motor proficiency of children with high and low IQ. Therefore, using Raven's Inventory, among 13-13 year-old children in Tehran, 15 high-intelligence children and 15 low-intelligence children were selected and trained in Indigenous- Local play for eight weeks. Bruninx-Oseretsky test was used before and after the exercise to assess the Motor proficiency. The results showed that although both groups benefited from the intervention, the impact of intervention on children with high IQ was higher. The results of this study, with the emphasis on the use of indigenous-local play in schools for motor development, also recommends that sports talent specialists use intelligence as an indicator of talent identification.
