| Résumé : |
This investigation examined the effects of a 12-week ball combination training program (BCTP) on physical fitness and motor disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study employed a 2 * 2 mixed experimental design, 55 children with ASD who received their conventional rehabilitation program (ABA) were assigned to either a BCTP group (n = 28) or a control group (n = 27). The BCTP group was asked to engage in an additional 12-week BCTP (five days per week, one session per day, and forty-five minutes per session), while the control group was instructed to maintain their daily activities. The physical fitness test and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2) test were performed before and after the intervention. Results indicate that the 12-week BCTP facilitated improvement in the physical fitness test, particularly in tennis ball throw(p < 0.05). Additionally, in terms of motor disorders, children in the BCTP group demonstrated improvement in aiming & catching(p < 0.05), whereas no such changes were found in the control group. These findings suggest that the 12-week BCTP could improve upper limb of throwing ability and aiming & catching in children with ASD. While both the experimental and control groups showed increases in post-test scores for other aspects of physical fitness and motor disorders, no significant differences were found between the groups. Therefore, the use of BCTP could be selected as an effective intervention according to the actual situation of children with ASD. |
