Abstract

In this study, we explored the immediate and three-month follow-up effects of physical training on physical fitness in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We randomly assigned 20 children with ASD (age 8-11 years) into an experimental group (EG; n = 10) and a control group (CG; n = 10). The EG participated in an 8-week training program involving both strength and proprioceptive exercises (three 60-minute sessions/week), while the CG simply maintained their daily activities. We assessed physical fitness components for each participant at baseline, post-training, and at a 3-month follow-up. The physical training intervention significantly improved physical fitness of these children with ASD in terms of their flexibility (p < .001; 32.46%), lower limbs strength (p = .003; 36.98%), lower body power (p < .001; 41.78%) and functional mobility (p < .001; 25.56%). However, these addition training-induced gains were lost at follow-up for lower limbs strength (p < .001), flexibility (p < .001), and functional mobility (p = .034)). Physical training was effective for improving physical fitness in children with ASD, but the loss of these gains at three months follow-up underscored the need for continuous physical exercise.

自闭症谱系障碍儿童体能训练和体感训练对体能成分的限时益处。

在这项研究中，我们探讨了体育训练对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童体能的直接影响和三个月的后续影响。我们将 20 名自闭症谱系障碍儿童（8-11 岁）随机分为实验组（EG；n = 10）和对照组（CG；n = 10）。实验组参加为期 8 周的训练计划，包括力量和本体感觉练习（每周 3 次，每次 60 分钟），而对照组只需维持日常活动。我们在基线、训练后和 3 个月的随访中对每位参与者的体能进行了评估。通过体能训练干预，这些患有 ASD 的儿童在柔韧性（p < .001; 32.46%）、下肢力量（p = .003; 36.98%）、下肢力量（p < .001; 41.78%）和功能移动性（p < .001; 25.56%）方面的体能得到了明显改善。然而，这些额外训练所带来的收益在随访中消失了，如下肢力量（p < .001）、柔韧性（p < .001）和功能性活动能力（p = .034））。体育训练能有效改善 ASD 患儿的体能，但在三个月的随访中，这些收益消失了，这突出表明需要持续进行体育锻炼。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
