This study aimed to examine the physical fitness profiles of these three groups. A total of 1537 school-aged participants were recruited from mainstream educational settings. The assessment included selected tests from the EUROFIT battery and body mass index (BMI). Composite indices of physical fitness and motor coordination were computed using age- and sex-adjusted Z-scores. Both the ADHD (n?=?80) and ASD (n?=?36) groups showed significantly lower cardiorespiratory fitness, balance, and upper-body coordination compared with TD peers (n?=?1413). Lower-body muscular strength was reduced only in the ASD group, which also performed worse than the ADHD group. Flexibility and BMI distributions did not differ significantly across groups. Plate Tapping and Flamingo Balance test indices were markedly lower in both clinical groups relative to TD peers. Children and adolescents with ADHD and ASD had lower physical fitness than TD peers. Direct comparisons between ADHD and ASD revealed generally similar profiles, except for lower muscular strength in ASD. These findings highlight the need for early screening and tailored interventions to support healthier developmental trajectories and enhance functional outcomes in neurodevelopmental populations.

The effect of exercise training on sleep quality in autism spectrum condition: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials / Daniel GONZÁLEZ-DEVESA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 119 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 119 (January 2025) . - p.102516 Titre : The effect of exercise training on sleep quality in autism spectrum condition: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel GONZÁLEZ-DEVESA, Auteur ; Miguel Adriano SANCHEZ-LASTRA, Auteur ; Benito OUTEDA-MONTEAGUDO, Auteur ; Carlos AYÁN-PÉREZ, Auteur ; José Carlos DIZ-GÓMEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102516 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic  Exercise  Physical Activity  Sleep duration  Sleep quality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We aimed to analyse the available scientific evidence on the effects of exercise programs on sleep quality in autism spectrum condition. Studies were searched in five electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost Environment Complete, Dialnet Plus and Scopus) until February 2024 (updated in August 2024). A total of ten randomized clinical trials were included. The pooled mean difference for subjective sleep duration (Child?s Sleep Habits Questionnaire [CSHQ] sub-scale), total CSHQ score, objective sleep duration and objective efficiency were ? 1.62 points (95 % confidence interval [CI] ? 2.34 to ? 0.91; p < 0.001), 9.43 points (95 % CI: 16.89 to 1.97, p < 0.001), 0.42 h (95 % CI: 0.05-0.80, p = 0.03) and 9.91 % (95 % CI: 5.04-14.78, p < 0.001), respectively. In conclusion, exercise can serve as an adjunct therapy for managing sleep-related problems among children on the autism spectrum.
