Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare physical fitness-related parameters in Turkish children with mild to moderate autism and their typically developing (TD) peers to determine maternal anxiety level and quality of life. Children with autism had significantly worse scores for all Munich Fitness Test (MFT) parameters except step test heart rate and had lower physical activity levels compared to the TD children (p < .05). There was no difference between groups in terms of postural deviations or maternal anxiety scores (p > .05). The MFT total score was associated with higher maternal quality of life scores (r = .605, p = .006). This study showed that despite participating in a regular physical activity program, children with mild to moderate autism have lower physical fitness and activity levels compared to their TD peers, whereas better physical fitness in children with autism has a positive effect on their mothers’ quality of life.

参加定期体育活动项目的自闭症儿童的身体健康和母亲心理社会状况

本研究的目的是比较土耳其轻度至中度自闭症儿童及其典型发育(TD)同龄人的身体健康相关参数，以确定母亲的焦虑水平和生活质量。自闭症儿童在慕尼黑体能测试(MFT)的所有参数得分(除步数测试心率外)均显著低于TD儿童(p < 0.05)。在体位偏差和母亲焦虑评分方面，两组间无差异(p < 0.05)。MFT总分与较高的产妇生活质量评分相关(r = .605, p = .006)。这项研究表明，尽管参加了定期的体育活动计划，轻度至中度自闭症儿童的身体健康和活动水平比他们的TD同龄人要低，而自闭症儿童更好的身体健康对他们母亲的生活质量有积极的影响。

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.
