Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review of the health benefits of adapted physical activity (APA) programs for children and adolescents with autism based on the ICF-CY.

Methods: Retrieving experimental studies related to APA in children and adolescents (0-18 years) with autism in the PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, PsycINFO, and CNKI databases, January 2014-December 2023.

Results: A total of 34 studies were included (involving 13 countries and 997 subjects). Coding of health effects according to ICF-CY categories, 52% of the 210 outcome items focused on body functions, 48% on activities and participation.

Conclusions: With its individualized, diversified and structured characteristics, APA not only serves as an effective non-pharmacological treatment strategy, but also an important way to promote the health of children and adolescents with autism in all-round way. However, the complexity of environmental factors makes it challenging to design an APA program based on the concept of ICF-CY.

适应体育活动对自闭症儿童和青少年的健康益处使用ICF-CY框架：范围审查

目的：本研究的目的是在ICF-CY的基础上，对适应性体育活动（APA）项目对自闭症儿童和青少年的健康益处进行范围审查。方法：检索2014年1月- 2023年12月PubMed、Web of Science、EBSCO、PsycINFO、CNKI等数据库中有关儿童和青少年（0-18岁）自闭症APA相关的实验研究。结果：共纳入34项研究（涉及13个国家，997名受试者）。根据儿童基金会-儿童基金会类别对健康影响进行编码，210个成果项目中52%侧重于身体功能，48%侧重于活动和参与。结论：APA具有个体化、多样化、结构化的特点，不仅是一种有效的非药物治疗策略，而且是全面促进自闭症儿童青少年健康的重要途径。然而，环境因素的复杂性使得基于ICF-CY概念设计APA程序具有挑战性。
