Abstract
The aim of this study was to comparison of the effectiveness of linear and non-linear pedagogy on locomotor motor skills Performance and movement motivation in children with developmental coordination disorder. The statistical population was all children with developmental coordination disorder in Urmia. The statistical sample consisted of 30 boys (age = 9.35 ± 1.37) who were selected from Urmia schools using the available method. MABC-2 test was used to diagnose developmental coordination disorder, TGMD- test was used to evaluate locomotor skills, and motor motivation test was used to evaluate movement motivation. To carry out this study, the participants practiced two 50-minute sessions of motor skills interventions in two linear methods (15 people) and task manipulation (15 people) for eight weeks. Variables were measured before and after the interventions. The results of covariance analysis showed that non-linear training compared to linear training significantly improved both in movement skills (p=0.04) and motor motivation (p=0.000) than the linear group. According to these results, non-linear methods considering the individual characteristics of each child are helpful for helping children with movement disorders. Considering the unique characteristics of each child helps to improve motor skills and to have enough motivation to continue the activity. Therefore, the use of non-linear methods is suggested for children with developmental coordination disorder.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of manipulation of task constraints on functional indicators and cognitive status of the elderly. In this research, 30healthy elderly were randomly selected and placed in two intervention and control groups. Analysis of covariance was used to evaluate the homogeneity of the slope of the regression line and to compare the mean of the pre-test and post-test data. Data analysis was done using SPSS software. The results showed that the application of the exercise protocol for manipulation of task constraints improved strength(P=0.006), cardiovascular endurance(P=0.010), agility(P=0.001), composition(P=0.003) and Mental status(P=0.002) of the elderly in the intervention group. In addition, the results indicate that the flexibility of the control group decreased significantly from the pre-test to the post-test(P=0.007). The results of the analysis of covariance by removing the effect of the pre-test showed that the body composition variable did not differ significantly from the pre-test to the post-test stage(P=0.264). It seems that exercises with the manipulation of task constraints are effective on the performance and cognitive indicators of the elderly. Therefore, it is suggested to consider the exercises with the manipulation of task constraints to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
