Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rhythmic aerobic exercise on motor proficiency and emotional intelligence in children with developmental coordination disorder and to compare the relationship between emotional intelligence and motor proficiency in these children before and after exercise. The research sample size included 30 children with developmental coordination disorder. Participants were selected by purposeful cluster sampling. They went through an aerobic exercises program for eight weeks. The study results revealed that emotional intelligence and motor skills in post-test were significantly improved by aerobic exercise. Also, the correlation between motor skill and emotional intelligence increased after training compared to pre-exercise. In the aerobic exercise program, children experience a better team participation, which makes them happy and excited. Also, it was better in improving the coordination level rather than other exercises. Therefore, this study suggests that aerobic exercise could be used to increase the motor skills and effective motor triggers such as emotional intelligence in children with developmental coordination impairment.
