“…Scientists proved positive results of dancing on repetitive behaviour, cognitive functions, executive function [37], behavioural problems [39], physical fitness, and motor skills [47,48] of children with ASd. The effect of gymnastics exercises on self-control [28,49], speech development [49], and physical fitness indicators [49] were also established.…”

IntroductionStudies of the effect of physical activity on indicators of physical and social health, as well as communication skills remain relevant owing to the lack of clear recommendations regarding the types, organization, and substantive content of sports and exercise interventional programs, as well as means of physical education (PE) effective for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) treatment and correction and improving the participants’ quality of life.MethodsStudies of the effect of physical activity on indicators of physical and social health, as well as communication skills remain relevant owing to the lack of clear recommendations regarding the types, organization, and substantive content of sports and exercise interventional programs, as well as means of physical education (PE) effective for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) treatment and correction and improving the participants’ quality of life.ResultsIn the scientific studies of 2000–2019 concerning the effect of applying PE programs for children with ASD, the participants were usually heterogeneous in age, level of functional capabilities, and intelligence quotient. The duration of the experiment was short (8–14 weeks); the frequency of interventions was different, the training sessions lasted 45–60 minutes. PE activities with proven effectiveness were swimming and water games, running, walking, imitation of riding, elements of yoga and oriental martial arts.ConclusionsIt is worth conducting a randomized study with a representative sample, within a group of the same age, intelligence quotient, daily physical activity, functional capabilities that would investigate indicators of all groups (physical, cognitive, behavioural, communicative) in an integrated manner, with a particular focus on those that are of interest to practice

“…The relative weight of each study in the analysis ranged from 6.46% to 12.65%. Heterogeneity reduced to 22% after deleting the results of five interventions (Dong et al, 2021;Hassani et al, 2022;Sarabzadeh et al, 2019;Zamani Jam et al, 2018). Three intervention's confidence intervals did not overlap with the confidence interval of the pooled effect.…”

“…Among the 14 studies, there were 17 different interventions included in the meta-analysis because three of the 14 included studies involved more than one intervention (Ansari et al, 2021;Hassani et al, 2022;Rafiei et al, 2021). The meta-analysis included a total of 365 children ranging in mean age from four (Felzer- Kim & Hauck, 2020) to 10 years (Zamani Jam et al, 2018). Most studies included boys and girls (n = 11), except for three (Ansari et al, 2021;Najafabadi et al, 2018;Pan et al, 2017).…”

Background: The development of proficiency in motor performance skills (MPS) builds the foundation for the complex movement skills required to participate in a range of sports and physical activities throughout the lifespan. Objective: To assess the efficacy of different intervention approaches on developing MPS proficiency in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and examine the intervention factors that influence change. Method: Searches were completed in three databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science) up to March 2022. Only randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled trials (CTs), that evaluated the effectiveness of interventions on overall MPS proficiency or specific MPS such as balance, running speed and agility, bilateral coordination, jumping, ball skills and push-ups in children (4–13 years old) were included. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was used to compute the meta-analyses. The effect sizes were reported as Hedges’ g. Using a random-effects model, potential sources of heterogeneity were identified, including subgroup analyses (type of intervention), and single training factor analysis (total number of weeks, session frequency, total intervention time, total number of training sessions). In addition, a multivariate meta-regression calculation was performed for balance. The GRADE framework was applied to assess certainty of evidence. Results: Seventeen interventions (13 RCTs and 4 CTs) revealed significant differences among groups favouring the intervention group with moderate to very large effects. Significant (p 0.05) small-to-large effects of interventions were evident on overall motor performance skills (ES = 2.43), ball skills (ES = 2.95), jumping (ES = 1.89), bilateral coordination (ES = 2.21), push-ups (ES = 1.92), balance (ES = 1.56), running speed and agility (ES = 1.31). Multivariate meta-regression for balance revealed that total sessions, total intervention time and session frequency predicted (p = 0.009, p0.001, p = 0.036, respectively) the effects of interventions on change in balance performance. Conclusion: Structured interventions that explicitly teach traditional FMS or promote the development and learning of movement skills specifically associated with a type of physical activity or sport, effectively improve MPS in children with ASD. Education settings should implement ‘planned’ movement experiences or interventions as a strategy to promote MPS proficiency in children with ASD.

“…Nesse sentido, trabalhar com a prática de atividades físicas com crianças com Transtorno do Espectro do Autista (TEA) pode ser um facilitador para melhora nas habilidades motoras, visto que essas crianças podem apresentar sintomas como dificuldades comportamentais e sociais, distúrbios de comunicação, limitações de interesses, comportamentos repetitivos e problemas de habilidades motoras (HUANG et al, 2020). Além disso, estudos incluídos nesta revisão mostram que resultados positivos (Jam et al, 2018) quanto à melhora das habilidades motoras, e (Pan, 2010) quanto à melhora das habilidades aquáticas, diminuição do comportamento antissocial e melhora da autoestima. Corroborando os resultados recentes, a metanálise mostra resultados que a atividade física teve um impacto positivo significativo na capacidade de interação social, capacidade de comunicação, habilidades motoras e grau de autismo de crianças com TEA, bem como as habilidades sociais e habilidades de comunicação de adolescentes autistas.…”
