“…During the first screening, 645 articles were excluded based on a review of the titles and abstracts. At the second screening, 10 more articles were excluded due to discrepancies in subjects, age, intervention methods, and outcome measures; finally, we included five full-text articles [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ] in this review ( Figure 1 ). Cohen’s Kappa coefficient for the screening performed by the two evaluators was 0.43 for the first screening and 0.61 for the second screening.…”

“…In the five extracted papers, the intervention targets were ADHD in one paper [ 15 ], DCD in two papers [ 16 , 17 ], and ASD in two papers [ 18 , 19 ]. Each child was diagnosed according to the ICD-10 [ 13 ], DSM-5 [ 2 ], the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) [ 20 ], the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) [ 21 ], the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) [ 22 ], medical observations, or medical techniques.…”

Web-Based Exercise Interventions for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders

et al. 2023

Various studies have shown the effectiveness of motor interventions for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Web-based interventions may provide an opportunity for remote access to effective interventions with less burden on therapists. This systematic review aimed to examine the effects of web-based exercise interventions for children with NDDs. We searched PubMed for relevant articles published in English since 1994 and included intervention studies focusing on NDDs in children aged ≤18 years, who received web-based exercise interventions. We categorized the extracted information by outcome measure and intervention type and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. We selected five articles whose subjects had autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The exercise interventions used active video games, a Zoom-based intervention, and a WhatsApp-based intervention. Three papers showed improvements in physical activity, motor function, and executive function, whereas two papers on DCD showed no improvements in motor coordination or physical activity. Web-based exercise intervention for children with ASD and ADHD may improve their motor function, executive function, and physical activity rather than for children with NDDs. An intervention may be more effective when the content of the intervention is based on objectives and symptoms, when guidance is provided by specialists, or when sufficient explanation and support are provided to parents. However, more research is needed to statistically evaluate the effectiveness of web-based exercise interventions for children with NDDs.

The purpose of this study was to examine the immediate and post effects of a parentmediated physical activity intervention on the fundamental motor skills of autistic children. We randomly assigned parent-child dyads (n = 31) of autistic children aged 4-11 years into three groups (workshop, an online, or control group). Each dyad participated in a 12-week intervention and was given adapted physical activity equipment and over 200 activities via a mobile application. Children were tested at the start and end of the intervention. The effect size (Cohen's d) of the control group for pre-post locomotor and ball skill scores were 0.12 and 0.06, respectively, indicating small effect size. The effect size of the online group for pre-post locomotor and ball skill scores were 49 and 0.26, respectively, indicating medium and small effect sizes. The effect size of the in-person group for pre-post locomotor and ball skill scores were 1.18 and 0.82, respectively, indicating large effect sizes. The outcomes of this physical activity intervention suggest that parents may facilitate the acquisition of fundamental motor skills of their autistic children. Although these results are positive, there is a need to further identify effective interventions for fundamental motor skill development in autistic children. Clinical Trials ID: NCT05159102. Lay SummaryAutistic children can benefit a lot from regular physical activity. Some of these benefits include being healthy and meeting new friends. Regular physical activity can also lead to being on sports teams. But most people agree that you need to be good at activities, like throwing, kicking, Parents can help their autistic children learn activities like throwing, kicking, and running, which are also known as fundamental motor skills. In this study, 31 families were randomly assigned to one group. Each family participated in either the workshop, the online, or the control group. Families in the workshop and online groups completed a 12-week physical activity program. Each participant received adapted physical activity equipment. They also received a mobile application with over 200 activities. The workshop group also attended four in-person workshops. The workshops focused on the needs of autistic children and their parents. The online group attended the workshops via Zoom. We tested children on their fundamental motor skills before and after the program. Parents of autistic children are their children's first teachers. Yet, they may not have the skills to teach their children how to do physical activity. So, our purpose was to focus on teaching parents of autistic children. As a result, children in this study improved their fundamental motor skills. This finding can help inform future programs for parents of autistic children.
