Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different mental and physical training methods on the motor function of girls and boys.Methods: This study was quasi-experimental research. The statistical sample consisted of 80 male and female students of Boshruyeh City in equal numbers and with a mean age of 14±0.9 years old who were randomly assigned into four groups of 20 participants (Physical Training, Traditional Imagery, PETTLEP, and Control groups). The participants took part in the pre-test and then practiced for six weeks. After training, they participated in the acquisition test To analyze the data, one-way analysis of variance, two-way repeated measures analysis of variance, and LSD post hoc tests were used. A significance level of 0.05 was considered.Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference in motor function between boys and girls based on the different training methods. The motor function of both genders has improved significantly in the Physical Training and PETTLEP groups. Also, the level of motor function of girls and boys was significantly better in the PETTLEP group than in other groups. In addition, Boys in PETTLEP have better motor function than girls.Conclusion: The findings of the study highlight the importance and necessity of paying attention to the methods of physical training and PETTLEP in improving the motor function of students according to their gender. An increase in the motor function of students can be expected especially for boys, by adding the PETTLEP in their training plan.

.Introduction: Exercise has a great effect on health promotion, and recently its effect on improving the nervous system functions and cognitive processes has attracted the attention of many researchers. This study aimed to investigate the effect of internal and external attention during futsal dribbling skill training on the serum level of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and cognitive function.Methods: forty-two untrained female students were selected by available sampling and randomly assigned into four Control without training, Control with training, Internal Attention, and External Attention groups. During 15 sessions, the participants of the training groups did the futsal dribbling training according to the dribbling test by making five trials in each session. Forty-eight hours before the pre-test and after the post-test, blood samples were drawn and cognitive function was measured using the Stroop test. GDNF blood factor was measured via the ELISA method. Statistical analysis was conducted at a significance level of P≤0.05.Results: Internal attention during dribbling training had no significant effect on GDNF serum level (P=0.12) and cognitive function (P=0.07). External attention during dribbling training had a significant effect on GDNF serum level (P=0.01) but did not have a significant effect on cognitive function (P=0.16).Conclusion: The type of internal or external attention during futsal dribbling does not make a particular difference in cognitive function and increases the serum level of GDNF. But the effects of external attention on the serum level of GDNF have been significant.
