Developmental coordination deficiency, intellectual disability, or motor coordination disorder that cannot be explained by a congenital or acquired neurological condition, which is important as a study subject in the field of sports sciences. Low levels of motor competence have been reported for both children and adolescents in most countries. It is underlined that there is a need for applications to increase these levels and facilitate motor development among children and young people who do not have the potential to develop motor behaviors that are important for normal growth and development. Research shows that developmental and age-appropriate physical activity and structured movement-based and task-specific movement education programs for children and adolescents are effective methods for improving many aspects of motor competence. While children in many developmental periods are active by participating in physical activity, there are also children who do not have these opportunities and cannot show the expected level of motor development. Developmental coordination disorder, intellectual disability, or motor coordination disorder that cannot be explained by a congenital or acquired neurological condition, which is also important as a study subject in the field of sports sciences. This is manifested by slowness and lack of motor skills. The aim of this theoretical study is to define the developmental coordination deficiency, to give information about the concepts and to give educators a perspective in assessment and implementations. Developmental coordination deficiency is one of the limited studies in the field of sports sciences. For this reason, it is thought that it is important in terms of addressing one of the disadvantaged groups that should be investigated in the field of sports sciences and guiding the researchers who will work in this field, and it is thought to be useful for studies in the context of sports sciences.
