Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research & Health Sciences (IJMRHS) - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The effects of 8 weeks of rope skipping on static and dynamic balance of educable mentally retarded boys were studied. The results showed a significant difference in static balance (P =0.019) and dynamic balance in the surfaces of anterior (P =0.03), posterior-interior (P =0.008), posterior-external (P =0.017) at the experimental group compared with control group after the exercises. The rope skipping exercises used in this study improved the static and dynamic balance in mentally retarded students aged between 11 and 17 years.
