Özet
Intellectual disability can be expressed as the defect that occurs in people's mental development and function. Therefore this handicap should be accepted by the society and it should be known that it is a social problem, instead of an individual one. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of movement training applied for 16 weeks to the physical fitness in children with intellectual disability. 30 volunteer, moderate mentally disabled male children have joined to the study. They have been divided into two random groups as group A (15 children) participating in non-play movement training, and group B (15 children) participating in movement training with games. The measurements included the age, height, weight, right and left-hand grip strength, anaerobic power, throwing the stuffed ball, VO2max, 30 m sprint and long jump parameters. Because mentally disabled children's attention spans are short, and learning abilities are low, movement training programs, do not just improve physical fitness of these children, but also improve their ability to learn and to be more aware of their surroundings.
