“…Other researchers (Barrodi et al, 2021) confirmed that the level of fine and gross motor skills depends on the degree of autism. Thus, the level of physical fitness can predict the degree of stereotypes, disorders of communication and social skills and even the degree of autism.…”

Information on the correlation of physical fitness indicators to indicators of motivation for physical activity (PA) in schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is very limited. The lack of such information makes it impossible to collect informative tests that best assess the level of РА literacy. It also hampers the effective identification of appropriate and effective means for the formation of РА literacy among schoolchildren with ASD. The study aims at comparing the levels of physical fitness and motivation for PA in children with ASD with their peers without disorders; determining the degree of correlation between physical fitness and motivation for physical activity in children with ASD. Data were collected from two Ukrainian samples: 18 children with ASD aged 11–13 years, and 30 children aged 11–12 years without ASD diagnosis. Results. Most of the correlation coefficients between the indices of physical fitness and motivation for РА in children with ASD (9/12) are reliable. This suggests that motivation to РА (defined by the CAPL-2 methodology) is an informative criterion of РА literacy of children with ASD. Significant correlations with motivation for РА in schoolchildren with ASD were observed in the results of two exercise tests.

“…Children and adolescents with ASD present cognitive-behavioural, socio-communicative issues and sensorimotor challenges that cause issues in both fine and motor skills and coordination. The relationship between motor performance and movement quality is closely related to the severity level of the disorder [ 67 , 68 ]. Moreover, motor [ 35 , 37 , 43 ], sensory [ 69 ], cognitive [ 46 ], and socio-communicative skills impairments [ 45 , 70 , 71 , 72 ] impact the development of their occupations, including activities of daily living, learning, leisure, and social participation in their communities [ 73 , 74 ].…”

Effects of Square-Stepping Exercise on Motor and Cognitive Skills in Autism Spectrum Disorder Children and Adolescents: A Study Protocol

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses present not only cognitive, emotional, communicative, and social challenges but also movement issues that affect their everyday activities, learning, and leisure. The use of the square-stepping exercise (SSE), a motor program initially created to strengthen the lower limbs of older adults, is spreading because of its advantages (e.g., balance and lower limb strength improvements). A study protocol to assess the SSE effects on motor, sensory, and cognitive skills in Spanish children and adolescents between 6 and 12 years old with ASD diagnoses is presented. A randomised clinical will be performed, recruiting 52 children and adolescents with ASD who will be distributed into two groups: an experimental (n = 26) and a control (n = 26) group. The SSE sessions will be held for 9 weeks (two times per week). The main variable will be balance, which will be measured with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 (MABC2), and secondary outcomes will include sensory processing, attention, and executive functions. Assessments will be carried out before and at the end of the program implementation, including an additional follow up one month later. If this program obtains positive results, it should be implemented in different settings (schools, clinics, associations, etc.) to improve the quality of movement and development in children and adolescents with ASD, as it is an easy-to-use and structured tool.

“…Because in this activity all the motion devices in the body are moved [9]. A person's physical condition is related to motor problems, in motor autistic children one of the causes of the ability to concentrate and not being strong in selfcontrol is the main factor [10]. learning barriers related to gross motoric problems can be identified by the development of the ability to maintain a body position at one point with two feet, one leg, walking on a boardwalk while stretching both hands, development of ability to perform various movements; if jump and jump, development in dynamic movement (walking, squatting, running, jumping in one activity), development in catching and throwing the ball 3 in various directions and positions; throwing without moving both feet, catching the ball, development in the skills of understanding body position in relation to direction and space, understanding leftright, updown, foreback and understanding startmidend position [11].…”

This study aims to apply the swimming therapy method in improving gross motor skills of autistic children. Therapy basically needs to be given to build a better condition. Therapy must also be carried out routinely so that what is lacking in children can be fulfilled gradually. Data collection was carried out by observation and performance tests. In the swimming pool, therapy activities are held twice a week. Barriers experienced by children are the child's gross motor skills that are lacking, so that the ability to balance and activities that require gross motor skills is not optimal. The reason for conducting this research is because children experience obstacles when carrying out activities that require gross motor skills, so a swimming therapy method is needed that suits the needs of autistic children. The research method used was an experiment with Single Subject Research (SSR) using an ABA design. The research findings showed that the application of the swimming therapy method had an effect on increasing gross motor skills in one of the autistic children. This increase was evident from the increase in the mean level from the baseline-1 phase (A1), which was 33%, to the intervention phase (B), which was 52.5% to the baseline-2 phase (A2) which is 81%. It is recommended to develop a swimming therapy program for improve gross motor skills can use the swimming therapy method.
