Primary	Timed 10-Meter Walk Test	The time traveled in seconds over a distance is measured, from the 2 meter mark to meter 8 is taken into consideration, three attempts are made by each participant. The result of this scale is the time that the children take to do this, if the time decrease after the time of intervention that means the children improve their physical condition.	One Month
Primary	Gross Motor Function Measure	This scale consists of an 88 items test to assess gross motor function, as higher score have the children better physical condition.	One Month
