The subjects of this research is based on 40 students with moderate or severe intellectual disability at senior high school of Special Education in Taoyuan County, among them 20 in experiment group and 20 in control group. Experiment group received the road running training for 16 weeks, 3 times a week, 50 continuous minutes each time, whereas the control group does not implement any physical training. An independent samples t-test comparing the differences of health-related physical fitness, self-concept and occupational physical performance between the two groups before and after the training. A dependent t-test was run to analyze the differences of health-related physical fitness, self-concept and occupational physical performance before and after training. The result showed that after the 16 weeks' road running training, except the self-concept score was uncertain due to the deficiency cognitive function. the experimental group performed better than the control group in all of the measured items; The performance of physical fitness including 60 seconds curl-ups, standing broad jump, and 800/1600m run and the occupational physical items, i.e. the single foot standing with right eyes opened, the single foot standing with right eyes closed, walking, stair climbing and descending etc. are all above the average level (p<.05). The road running training appeared to be an effective method for training students with moderate or severe intellectual disability in physical fitness and occupational physical performance.
