The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of proprioceptive training on motor coordination in children with autism spectrum disorder in Shiraz schools. The method was quasi-experimental and a pretest/posttest design with a control group. 16 participants (5 to 12 years old, 8.62 ± 2.21) were randomly homogenized in experimental and control groups according to the results of Bruininks-Oseretsky subtests. Experimental subjects individually performed proprioceptive training in 24 sessions while the control group individually performed the similar number of sessions of regular occupational therapy. After the completion of the training course, posttest was conducted for both groups. Results demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups in all subscales of eye, hand and bimanual coordination (P≤0.05). Regarding the evaluations in this study and the significance of motor coordination due to changes in processing and sensory-motor systems, it can be concluded that proprioceptive training improved motor coordination in children with autism.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of external attention (EA) and internal attention (IA) with & without motivational music training on dynamic balance task. The method was quasi-experimental and the sample involved 60 athletic maile who were volunteers to participate in this study. After pre-test, Subjects were divided into 5 groups of 12 members randomly. Groups were: IA with music, EA with music, IA without music, EA without music and Control. This research conduct with 3 phase. First, Pre-test. In 2nd, Subjects were doing exercise protocol in 3 consecutive days in phase for groups with music in addition attentional strategies, motivational music play by CD. 3nd was post –test in According to of research design, if music had could significant effect on performance after variable using, then in 4th phase, data can be Analyzed. ANOVA test do not show significant difference among groups. In other words, (EA) and (IA), strategies with / without music cannot affect on balance ability. The significance level in this research was α= 0.05.

Although many researches have investigated the benefits of music in sport, few researches have studied the effect of music on movement recall. Thus, this study aimed to identify the effect of motivational music on information recall during the performance of a wrestling skill sequence. 24 male athletes (mean age 21.6±0.9 yr, height 176.4±6.1 cm and weight 67.5±8.4) were trained in 30 skills of free style wrestling during 8 weeks (2 sessions/week, 100min/session) in the acquisition phase. After 5 days of acquisition, a list of 10 skills with (1-3-2-3-1) chunk based on serial coded recall procedures were presented to the subjects and they were asked to recall and perform the list after 2 minutes. The subjects’ scores of performance were evaluated based on the main list and a score was allocated to performance sequence. Then, subjects were divided into two groups randomly. In posttest, another list was presented to the groups with the similar chunk but the only difference was that experimental group had music (BMRI form selected by subjects, MP3, 192 , tempo>120, volume 50% max of player system) concurrently with their performance. Data were analyzed by t student tests (dependent and paired and α=0.05). Findings showed that experimental group achieved higher scores in recall phase of freestyle wrestling techniques than the control group (p=0.007).It can be concluded that music as a motivational factor in recalling skill sequences can influence the performance of wrestling techniques when
