In this research, the experimental design was adopted to examine the physical fitness before and after training and the maintenance effect after a year. Eight 16-to-17-years-old senior high school with intellectual disabilities were selected as the research participants. The independent variable was the rope skipping; the dependent variable is the performance of the physical fitness test result including body composition, flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance. The intervention was given the 50 minutes rope skipping training, twice a week, for 12 weeks. To understand the intervention and maintenance effect of these test subjects’physical fitness after the intervention of the rope skipping, the physical fitness norm of middle and elementary school students published by Ministry of Education in 2012 is adopted as the reference for the test result comparison. The analysis was conducted by dependent sample t-test and nonparametric dependent sample test to examine the effects. The following is the results of this research: 1. Intervention effect The effect of the rope skipping was positive and obvious to the test subjects. The analysis results based on dependent sample t-test in“body compose, flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance”reach significant level(*p<.05), but cardiorespiratory endurance is not significant. 2. Maintenance effect The effect of the rope skipping could provide effective maintenance effect in physical fitness to student with intellectual disabilities in vocational senior high school in items of “flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance”(p<.05) , but body compose and cardiorespiratory endurance are not significant.
