Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-2 (February 2023) . - p.633-647 Titre : Promoting Positive Health Outcomes in an Urban Community-Based Physical Activity Intervention for Preschool Aged Children on the Autism Spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kerri STAPLES, Auteur ; Edward Andrew PITCHFORD, Auteur ; Franziska LOETZNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.633-647 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : While there is wide consensus regarding the importance of early intervention, health is rarely considered within priorities. Twenty-five children on the autism spectrum (Mage = 4.67, SD = 0.82) participated in a 12-week physical activity intervention. Primary objective was to examine impact of a physical activity intervention on physical activity, fitness and motor competence. Secondary objective was to examine associations between motor behavior and ASD symptoms. Ball skills (p < .001) and isometric push-up performance (p = .02) improved. Autism symptoms were associated with motor skills (r > â’â€â€.49, p < .05). Study outcomes provide new knowledge regarding design, delivery, and measures for early interventions targeting health disparities in young children on the autism spectrum.
