A significantly differences was found between athletes and sedentary in the early adolescence with visual impairments (p=0.05). There was no significantly differences between the females and males in the early adolescence with visual impairments (p=0.05). There was no interaction between gender in the early adolescence with visual impairments group (p>0.05).
