However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we carried out a 12-week mini-basketball training program (MBTP) on ASD children and examined the changes of brain functional and structural networks before and after exercise intervention. We applied individual-based method to construct functional network and structural morphological network, and investigated their alterations following MBTP as well as their associations with the change in core symptom. Structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI data were obtained from 58 ASD children aged 3-12 years (experiment group: n = 32, control group: n = 26). ASD children who received MBTP intervention showed several distinguishable alternations compared to the control without special intervention. These included decreased functional connectivity within the sensorimotor network (SM) and between SM and the salience network, decreased morphological connectivity strength in a cortical-cortical network centered on the left inferior temporal gyrus, and a subcortical-cortical network centered on the left caudate. Particularly, the aforementioned functional and structural changes induced by MBTP were associated with core symptoms of ASD. Our findings suggested that MBTP intervention could be an effective approach to improve core symptoms in ASD children, decrease connectivity in both structure and function networks, and may drive the brain change towards normal-like neuroanatomy.

The effect of a 12-week ball combination training program on physical fitness and motor disorders in children with autism spectrum disorders: An experimental study / Haiyong MAO ; Yufei LIU ; Kelong CAI ; Aiguo CHEN in Research in Autism, 125 (July 2025)

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.
