“…The results showed improvement in work-related performance. These findings are similar to Celiberti et al (1997) who found that jogging decreased stereotypic behavior in physical self-stimulation but walking had no effect. Elliott et al (1994) found that vigorous, aerobic exercise equally reduced both maladaptive behaviors and stereotypy/stimulatory behaviors.…”

The purpose of this study is to provide some background information on autism and how physical activity may be helping individuals with autism. Increasing rates of autism have been noted: Many researchers are involved in finding treatment methods that can help autistic children. Some studies have provided evidence that physical exercise and playing organized sport has been shown to be a beneficial intervention for the treatment of autistic individuals. The development of both motor and social skills has been seen to improve from physical exercise, which presents a challenge to individuals with autism.

“…Three of the studies documented the postexercise effect over varying lengths of time. Celeberti et al 25 found that self-stimulatory behaviours remained below baseline for the entire 40-minute observation period following exercise. Kern et al 17 found marked decrease in self-stimulatory behaviours post-jogging within and across a period of 2 days.…”

“…This study was rated 5 for quality and thus provides moderate evidence. The Level V study by Celiberti et al 25 also examined the effects of lowversus high-intensity exercise on stereotypic and out-of-seat behaviours by using 6 minutes of jogging versus 6 minutes of walking. The results indicate that jogging reduced stereotypic and out-of-seat behaviours, whereas walking did not produce any decrease in these behaviours.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize evidence from studies examining the effect of exercise interventions on stereotypic behaviours in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: Only exercise-related physical therapy (PT) interventions were included. A multifaceted search strategy identified studies published between 1980 and 2007. Quality was assessed using the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) Study Quality Scale, the Clinical Relevance Tool for Case Studies, and the Quality, Rigour or Evaluative Criteria tool. Results: Seven studies met our inclusion criteria; four of these used single-subject research designs, two were group studies, and one was a case study. Ages and behavioural characteristics of the children (N ¼ 25) varied among the studies. Levels of evidence ranged from II to V (of a possible I-V). Study quality scores ranged from 2 to 5 (range: 0 to 7); mean ¼ 3.9, mode ¼ 5. Few studies in this area of PT practice have been published, and those identified scored low levels of rigour on the AACPDM criteria. Conclusions: Research suggests that exercise provides short-term reductions of stereotypic behaviours in children with ASD. Future research with stronger evidence levels, greater rigour, and longer-term outcome assessment is required to determine specific exercise parameters.

“…Many early studies measured the effects of jogging sessions on such behaviors and discovered that significantly lower levels of self-stimulatory behaviors followed brief jogging sessions Celiberti et al, 1997;Rosenthal-Malek & Mitchel, 1997).…”

“…The majority of early research on physical activity and ASD focused on the effects of exercise on frequency of repetitive behaviors (Celiberti et al, 1997;Elliot et al, 1994;Levinson & Reid, 1993; and appropriate responding (Kern et al, 1982). More recently, physical activity behaviors, across various settings and age groups, and determinants, such as age, motivation, and social engagement, are being studied.…”
