The effects of 14 weeks of Kata techniques training on stereotypic behaviors of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) were investigated. The study included 30 eligible (diagnosed ASD, school age) children with ages ranging from 5 to 16 years whom they assigned to an exercise (n=15) or a no-exercise control group (n=15). Participants of the exercise group received Kata techniques instruction four times per week for 14 weeks (56 sessions). Stereotypy was assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), week 14 (post-intervention), and at one month follow up in both groups. Results showed that Kata techniques training significantly reduced stereotypy in the exercise group. Following participation in Kata techniques training, stereotypy decreased from baseline levels by a M of 42.54% across participants. Interestingly, after 30 days of no practice, stereotypy in the exercise group remained significantly decreased compared to pre-intervention time. The participants of the control group did not show significant changes in the stereotypy. Teaching martial arts techniques to children with ASD for a long period of time consistently decreased their stereotypic behaviors.
研究了 14 周的空手道技术训练对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童刻板行为的影响。该研究纳入了 30 名符合条件（经诊断患有 ASD，学龄）的儿童，年龄在 5 至 16 岁之间，他们将这些儿童分为锻炼组（n=15）和非锻炼对照组（n=15）。锻炼组的参与者每周接受 4 次空手道技术指导，共 14 周（56 节课）。在两组中，均在基线（干预前）、第 14 周（干预后）和一个月随访时评估刻板行为。结果表明，空手道技术训练显著减少了锻炼组的刻板行为。在参加空手道技术训练后，参与者的刻板行为从基线水平平均减少了 42.54%。有趣的是，在 30 天没有练习后，锻炼组的刻板行为与干预前相比仍然显著减少。对照组的参与者刻板行为没有显著变化。长期向 ASD 儿童教授武术技术可使他们的刻板行为持续减少。
