A heterogeneous sample of 137 school-aged children with learning disabilities (IQ > 80) attending special needs schools was examined on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC). The results show that compared to the available norm scores, 52.6% of the children tested performed below the 15th percentile on manual dexterity, 40.9% on ball skills, and 33.7% on balance skills. Furthermore, after controlling for IQ, significant small to moderate partial correlations were found between spelling and mathematics and the MABC total score, as well as small to moderate correlations between mathematics and balance, between reading and ball skills, and between spelling and manual dexterity. The present findings are compared with previously reported results obtained in more homogenous groups, and based on the resultant relationships between academic performance and motor development, recommendations for future motor intervention studies are made.
对在特殊需求学校就读的 137 名学习障碍（智商>80）的学龄儿童进行了异质样本的运动评估电池测试（MABC）。结果表明，与可用的标准分数相比，52.6%的儿童在手部灵巧性方面的测试得分低于第 15 百分位，40.9%在球技方面，33.7%在平衡技能方面。此外，在控制智商后，拼写和数学与 MABC 总分之间存在显著的小到中度偏相关，数学与平衡之间、阅读与球技之间、拼写与手部灵巧性之间也存在小到中度的相关。将目前的研究结果与之前在更同质的群体中报告的结果进行比较，并基于学业成绩和运动发展之间的关系，提出了未来运动干预研究的建议。
