This study aimed to examine the effects of FITT-based training on fine and gross motor development among students with intellectual disabilities through separate gender-based analyses</p> <p><strong>Materials and methods. </strong>This study employed a randomized trial using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design. A total of 70 students with intellectual disabilities (48 boys and 22 girls), aged 6–10 years, were recruited from eight special education schools in Indonesia using purposive sampling. Participants completed a FITT-based training program conducted twice weekly for 12 sessions at moderate intensity (60–75% of maximum heart rate), with each session lasting 45–60 minutes. Fine motor performance was assessed using the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT), while gross motor development was measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development–Second Edition (TGMD-2). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>Significant improvements were observed in fine motor performance among boys (Z = -3.320, p = .001) and girls (Z = -2.950, p = .003). Gross motor performance also improved significantly among boys (Z = -5.770, p &lt; .001) and girls (Z = -4.030, p &lt; .001). However, no significant gender differences were found in fine motor gain scores (p = .795) or gross motor gain scores (p = .512), indicating comparable intervention effects across gender groups.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions. </strong>FITT-based training effectively improved fine and gross motor performance among students with intellectual disabilities regardless of gender. The findings support the potential role of neuroplasticity-oriented interventions in promoting motor development and functional performance in educational and rehabilitation settings.</p> Muh Isna Nurdin Wibisana Husnul Hadi Ibnu Fatkhu Royana Muhammad Atiq Noviudin Pritama Mert Kurnaz Copyright (c) 2026 Muh Isna Nurdin Wibisana, Husnul Hadi, Ibnu Fatkhu Royana, Muhammad Atiq Noviudin Pritama, Mert Kurnaz https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2026-10-31 2026-10-31 6 4 732 746 10.52188/ijpess.v6i3.2311
