The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sensory-motor exercises with a game sense approach on the executive and motor control of children with learning disorder. For this purpose, 36 female children aged 7-9 years were randomly selected by referring to learning disorder centers in Mashhad and divided into two exercise groups (sensory-motor group with a game sense approach, sensory-motor group with a goal-oriented approach) and a control group. The exercise groups participated in the exercises in the form of two 60-minute sessions per week for a period of 8 weeks. During this period, the control group performed its normal activities. The changes in inhibition and gross motor skills of the subjects before and after the exercise period were measured by Stroop and Burininks-Oseretsky tests, respectively. The results of the Mixed analysis of variance analysis test showed that sensory-motor exercises with the game sense approach improved executive and motor control in the game sense group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Therefore, sensory-motor exercises with a game sense approach can help improve the executive and motor control of these children.
