Muscle strength and executive function in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Sebastian LUDYGA in Autism Research, 14-12 (December 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-12 (December 2021) . - p.2555-2563 Titre : Muscle strength and executive function in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sebastian LUDYGA, Auteur ; Uwe PÃœHSE, Auteur ; Markus GERBER, Auteur ; Manuel MÃœCKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2555-2563 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Child  Cognition  Cross-Sectional Studies  Executive Function  Humans  Muscle Strength  cognitive performance  development  information processing  mental disorder  physical fitness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The development of effective (non-pharmacological) treatment approaches for executive dysfunction in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requires evidence that factors influencing this domain can be modified by behavioral interventions. The present cross-sectional study investigated the relative associations of ASD, muscle strength and body mass index with executive function and information processing among the Healthy Brain Network cohort. Patients with ASD (N = 174) and healthy peers (N = 202) aged 5 to 18 years completed cognitive tasks of the NIH toolbox (Pattern Comparison, Flanker, List Sorting, Card Sorting) to assess core components of executive function and information processing. Additionally, anthropometrics and muscle strength were collected from selected items (push-ups, curl-ups, trunk lift, and grip strength) of the Fitnessgram battery. Based on structural equation modeling, ASD was related to impaired muscle strength and executive function, when confounders (age, sex, pubertal status, and socioeconomic status) were accounted for. Muscle strength further showed independent contributions to information processing and executive function. This association was moderated by ASD, so that higher muscle strength was related to higher executive function in ASD patients only. The present findings provide a first indication that the promotion of muscle strength may have the potential to generally enhance information processing and to reduce ASD-related executive dysfunction in children and adolescents. LAY SUMMARY: In comparison to healthy peers, children with ASD showed impairments in executive function and muscle strength. Moreover, higher muscle strength was independently associated with better executive function, but only in ASD patients. This is a first indication that the promotion of muscle strength, for example, by regular exercise, could contribute to a reduction of ASD-related executive dysfunction.

A randomized cross-over trial investigating the neurocognitive effects of acute exercise on face recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder / Sebastian LUDYGA in Autism Research, 16-8 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-8 (August 2023) . - p.1630-1639 Titre : A randomized cross-over trial investigating the neurocognitive effects of acute exercise on face recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sebastian LUDYGA, Auteur ; Markus GERBER, Auteur ; Fabienne BRUGGISSER, Auteur ; Rahel LEUENBERGER, Auteur ; Mark BROTZMANN, Auteur ; Sarah TRESCHER, Auteur ; Markus FÖRSTER, Auteur ; Liye ZOU, Auteur ; Evelyn HERBRECHT, Auteur ; Manuel HANKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1630-1639 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Difficulties in face recognition contribute to social-cognitive problems in autistic children. Evidence on behavioral interventions targeting this cognitive domain is limited. In non-autistic individuals, a single exercise session is known to elicit temporary benefits for several cognitive functions. Our study investigates whether acute aerobic exercise influences face recognition in autistic children. In a randomized order, 29 participants completed a 20-min moderately-intense cycling bout on an ergometer and a control condition. Before and after each condition, participants categorized Mooney faces and instruments during a computerized cognitive task. Simultaneously, the N170 component of event-related potentials and pupil size were recorded using electroencephalography and eyetracking, respectively. As indicated by a greater increase of reaction time in the exercise compared to the control condition, the results revealed impaired face recognition following aerobic exercise. This effect was accompanied by a lower decrease of the positive N170 amplitude and a trend towards a greater constriction of the pupil size in the exercise compared to the control condition. Our findings highlight the interplay of the physiological state and face recognition in autistic children. Exercise-induced impairments in this social-cognitive ability may be due to an interference with the learning effect that is typically seen for the structural encoding of faces.
