The current research aim was the evaluation of the effect of 8 weeks of selected core stability exercises on static and dynamic balance, gait speed, and stride length of students with educable intellectual disability. Methods: Among the students with intellectual disability in exceptional schools of Quds city, 40 participants were chosen according to the inclusion criteria and they randomly categorized into two groups. To assess static and dynamic balance, walking speed, and stride length before and following the examination, the balance error scoring system, timed up & Go balance test, Ten Meter Walk Test, video recording, and Dartfish motion analysis software were employed. Experimental community participants completed stabilization preparation for central organs during eight weeks at three sessions for 45 minutes per week. The covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and dependent t-test was used at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The covariance analysis results revealed a significant difference among BESS, TUG, walking speed, and stride length between both groups (P <0.05). Also, the Results from the dependent t-test indicated that the changes, before and following the evaluation, of BESS, TUG, gait speed, and stride length were significant in the experimental group (P <0.05). Conclusion: The Results indicate that the exercise procedure adopted strengthens the static, active balance, gate speed, and length of students with intellectual disabilities.
