There is a lack of understanding regarding gait biomechanics demonstrated by older children with ASD. The purpose of the study was to determine differences in gait patterns between older children with ASD and typically developing children. Eleven children with ASD and 11 age- and gender-matched typically developing children were recruited for the study. Participants walked on a force-instrumented treadmill at a constant speed (1.1 ​m/s ​- ​1.2 ​m/s) for five minutes (min). Participants performed maximal voluntary contractions to assess their knee muscular strength. Differences between individuals with ASD and matched control participants were examined through paired <em>t</em>-tests with a significance level of <em>p</em> ​≤ ​0.05. Individuals with ASD demonstrated a smaller knee extensor torque compared to controls (<em>p</em> ​= ​0.002). Participants with ASD exhibited a shorter stride length (<em>p</em> ​= ​0.04), a greater cadence (<em>p</em> ​= ​0.03), and a higher variation in stride width (<em>p</em> ​= ​0.04) compared to control participants. The individuals with ASD experienced a greater braking ground reaction force (<em>p</em> ​= ​0.03) during loading response. The results indicate older children with ASD develop a unique gait pattern signified by a reduced stride length, increased cadence, and an increase of variation in stride width. This unique gait pattern may represent a movement strategy used by the individuals with ASD to compensate for the weakness associated with their knee extensor muscles. Individuals with ASD who demonstrate these unique gait deviations may face reduced postural stability and an increased risk of fall-related injuries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33620,"journal":{"name":"Sports Medicine and Health Science","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 154-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666337623000793/pdfft?md5=b6ca6aa36862b101e7d6110284918ad3&pid=1-s2.0-S2666337623000793-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139304645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose was to determine the effect of ST on knee proprioception in KOA patients. Pubmed, CINAHL, Scopus, WOS, and PEDro were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (inception to March 2023). Comparisons for ST were physical exercise different from ST, non-exercise-based interventions, and no intervention.

Meta-analyses were performed by comparison groups using the standardized mean difference (SMD) (Hedge's <em>g</em>) with random effects models, also considering subgroups by proprioception tests. Finally, six RCTs were included. The mean PEDro score was 6.3, and the highest proportion of biases corresponds to performance, selection, and detection.

Thus, we aimed to explore the effects of WCT on repeated sprint ability, wellness, and exertion in young active males. Forty-nine active adult males (age: [28 ​± ​5] years; body height [177 ​± ​8] cm; body mass: [79 ​± ​7] kg; body mass index: [25.4 ​± ​1.8] kg/m²) were selected for the study. The participants performed a running-based sprint test on two separate occasions (Control and Post-WCT). WCT was performed 24 ​h before the testing session. They completed the Hooper questionnaire to assess their well-being (<strong><em>i.e.</em></strong>, sleep, stress, fatigue, and soreness) before each session. The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected after each testing session. A higher maximum power (<em>p</em> ​&lt; ​0.05, effect size [<em>ES</em>] ​= ​0.6), mean power (<em>p</em> ​&lt; ​0.01, <em>ES</em> ​= ​0.5) and minimum power (<em>p</em> ​&lt; ​0.01, <em>ES</em> ​= ​0.6) were recorded post-WCT as compared to Control session along with a better perceived sleep (<em>p</em> ​&lt; ​0.01, <em>ES</em> ​= ​0.85).
