Objective: The present study aimed to develop a training package based on motor intelligence and investigate its effect on executive functions in children aged 9 to 12 years. Method: This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design with a control group. A total of 40 female students aged 8-10 years from Karaj were selected voluntarily and randomly assigned to two groups: motor intelligence training group (n=20) and control group (n=20). The experimental group participated in a 10-week training program (three 45-minute sessions per week) based on five components of motor intelligence (body control, rhythm sensitivity, expressiveness, movement idea generation, and object manipulation). Executive functions were assessed using the Stroop and Wisconsin Card Sorting Tests. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that the motor intelligence group, compared to the control group, demonstrated significant reductions in congruent and incongruent errors, increased correct responses, decreased reaction times, and improved interference scores on the Stroop test. Additionally, on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, significant increases in completed categories and decreases in perseverative and non-perseverative errors were observed. Effect sizes ranged from medium to large across all components. Conclusion: Motor intelligence-based training packages can serve as effective and multidimensional interventions for improving executive functions in children. The application of this approach in school educational programs is recommended for enhancing response inhibition, selective attention, cognitive flexibility, and working memory in children.
