Poland90 participantsStarted 2024-09-02

Plain-language summary

Physical fitness and psychological indicators are key factors in healthy development. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have lower levels of physical fitness and mental health than their neurotypical peers. This study examined the effects of 10 months of judo training on physical fitness and psychological indicators in children and adolescents with ASD and neurotypical individuals training in integrated groups. Ninety children and adolescents aged 7-14, with and without ASD, participated in the study. Physical fitness was measured using the EUROFIT test, and psychological indicators were measured using the Staic psychological test and the Juczyński questionnaire.
